The majority of my students do not have access to quality books at home. My classroom is their source for high quality, fun literature. Providing a variety of reading choices in a fourth grade classroom is critical for students to become life long readers. Teachers know that the more books students read, the more words and ideas they are exposed to, and the more diverse information they are provided with will impact them as life long learners and readers in our diverse society. My students deserve to have a variety of books available to them so that they can choose to read the books that they are interested in reading. Research shows that if a child is motivated to read a book, they are more apt to retain the information and subject matter that they are reading about.
