Reading surely is not a lost art! This year I am highly emphasizing reading and hoping to fill a classroom library that will instill a lifelong love of reading! I have decided to do a "30 Book Challenge" and challenge my students in the volume of their reading. The research suggests that when students read in higher capacities at appropriate reading levels, their vocabulary acquisition and comprehension skills are directly impacted and strengthened. Unfortunately, the current state of my classroom library is just not able to adequately support this challenge. With this grant, I am hoping to build up my library with all different genres and authors! Middle School is a really great time of exploration; I want to give my students a chance to explore in the realm of reading; what they like, what they are curious about, and what excites them! This is why I have included books from different genres including: Historical Fiction, Realistic Fiction, Fantasy, Action/Adventure, and Nonfiction, as well as different Lexile Reading Levels. I am hoping that students will explore new titles and read some books that they normally would not have chosen! I want to do my part and support their exploration and growth as young readers. We will be so blessed by this donation not only this year, but in many school years to come!
