Literacy is the most important skill students can gain in school. We are already working on writing with the Units of Study writing workshop, and now we need some class sets of books to read! These book sets will give my students the opportunity to learn about three different and relatable experiences - understanding a learning disability, friendship and living your dream, and immigrating to the United States. First, I would like to start with "Fish in a Tree" because it is an easily accessible book for all of my readers, and I when I read the book, I finished it in one day and fell in love with it. Second, I would like to read "Darius & Twig" to help students realize the power of friendship and that they have grit. Lastly, "Inside Out and Back Again" will give students the chance to understand immigration through a lens that may be different from their own. Most of my students do not have books at home and do not read books for pleasure. I want to show them that reading is a great way to escape and learn about yourself and others. These three books are quite different yet have an underlying theme of resilience which is something every eighth grader needs.
