My middle-school students are comprised of a diverse mix of Italian, Middle-Eastern, and South American backgrounds. They attend a school that is large and has a loving, supportive staff. Many of the students in the school do not speak English as a primary language, and many struggle with reading comprehension. The school offers great support through dynamic teaching, but all of the English classrooms are not as amazingly resourced as they could be. While I have a high level of access to technology in my room, I also have a limited number of books that the students can borrow to use for the independent reading I am having them do, and students have voiced that they do not have the resources at home either to help them find books or to help them to enjoy reading books once they have them. Some of the books I inherited in my position are in a much-used condition, with pages falling out and the spines deteriorating. We visited the library and students commented on the limited options.
