The purchase of these young adult books will foster the creation of Book Clubs in my classroom. The formation of Book clubs allows for valuable discourse among classmates as well as promoting the importance of reading. Book Clubs are going to make a huge impact on the reading lives of my students. These books are critical in engaging my students and exciting them about reading, a necessary life skill. The love and appreciation of literacy is a vital piece for success in school, college and life. Without these books, students would not have access to a variety of reading choices, which is imperative to cement lifelong readers. Research shows that the amount of reading required in college is between 800 and 1000 pages, so establishing a reading habit early on is critical. Reading serves three goals for my students. The goals that my students aim to achieve are for them to increase the volume of reading. Another is to increase the complexity of their reading. Lastly, it is critical that they leave middle school and strongly identify with either a specific author or genre. A teacher's classroom library must constantly be updated with the most recent publications and popular young adult books. A fresh and up-to-date library of books across all the genres promotes a continued interest in reading. Without fresh and up-to-date books, reading interest will decline.
