I purchased many classics and staple young adult titles thinking that those would cover most students' interests. I also took my students to the school library so that they could check out titles not available in the classroom. They couldn't find many of the books they were interested in reading, and that's when I realized just how many of my students loved reading fantasy, thrillers, poetry, graphic novels, and novels about young adults overcoming adversity. I'm lacking those genres in my current collection, and I'd like to add more exciting and more recent high-interest titles to our classroom library where they are easily accessible. I'm in the process of establishing a community of readers where my students regularly share their thoughts and book recommendations with other students on our Google Classroom page. I dedicate chunks of class time for sustained silent reading in order to give students a quiet reading space. My juniors are also taking the SAT exam this school year, and I want them to organically build understanding of text and reading endurance to where they don't perceive reading as a tiring task. I've purchased many books after taking requests, and seeing my students' excitement when I brought the book to class inspired me to keep building on our classroom library and expand the selection with a wide variety of books.
