One of the reasons I went into teaching was to share my love of reading with as many children as possible. As a second grade teacher I have been encouraging them to seek out new books and challenge themselves. At the same time I make sure they are reading books that are 'just right'. Expanding our library will help make them better readers and hopefully help them to keep loving to read. When students feel they have read all of the books available to them they no longer feel challenged or interested. I want them to keep feeling good about reading for the whole school year. With a HUGE range of readers comes a need for a variety of books across different levels and genres.
