Everyone deserves a chance to lose themselves - and see themselves! - in the pages of a book. This project will support the important work my students do as independent readers. Research consistently shows that reading growth comes from reading practice, and my students are challenged to push themselves as readers every day. Our classroom library reflects the diversity within our school and our world. I stock the shelves with books to pull in reluctant readers as well as books to push avid readers. I work hard to include a broad range of both protagonists and authors. For each book project, students provide a wish list of titles which I then crosscheck and expand with the annual recommendations of the ALA (American Librarian Association). Thank you for your support!
