This year, across our 7th grade team, we are putting a heavier emphasis on reading. While we have always pushed reading, this year we are making it a grade wide norm to better integrate reading for pleasure in our classes. Our students will read and write in their reader's notebooks to help dig deeper into their books. We will have ample time in class and their homework will simply be to read every night. To support my students, I want to make sure that I have an ample library of different genres, authors, stories and viewpoints that reflects the diversity of my classroom. Having a diverse classroom library will ensure that all of my students will be able to find a book that they truly love. I want my students to develop into able, confident readers. If my students can even just begin to develop of love of reading, it will be tremendous for them going on in both their educational and personal lives.
