Would you want to read a book that is ripped, missing pages, or older than your parents? Me neither! So how do we expect students to read every night if they don't have juicy, current, high interest books that engage them? These are books that our students wait weeks to borrow from our school library, and sometimes even then they don't get a turn to read them; our classrooms need enough books to support our readers! The books ordered include graphic novels and traditional novels in both ENGLISH and SPANISH so our students can practice reading at home in both languages. These books will be labeled as "special edition" and monitored using a check out system. This will help us make sure that the books STAY in our classroom and don't disappear at home. That means that students for years to come will be able to enjoy books that they are dying to get their hands on!
