I am seeking to replenish my library with a wide range of leveled fiction books. Students are expected to raise their reading levels throughout the year by reading both in the classroom and at home. For many of my students, however, the only exposure they have to books is when they are in classroom. A low point for my students is the day they have to change their books and they’ve realized they have read all the books in our library and when they cannot take books home for the night because there are simply not enough left. Often times my classroom library is either lacking their needed independent reading levels or their is not enough books to go home for the night. These much needed books will not only help my students become better and stronger readers, it will also continue to bring excitement and joy in their everyday lives as they engross themselves in new books.
