Great readers become great writers. Their vocabulary expands and they are able to pull in more examples for evidence in their writing for state assessments and other writing-related activities. Having this in-class library will encourage my students to read more in class and they'll get to see characters that look like them, act like them, and are experiencing similar life events. The storage cubes will provide easier access for books for the students since they have to write Reading/Thinking/Writing journal entries every Friday about a book they are reading. Most of my middle school students have never read a book for entertainment purposes, let alone been to a library that had books full of characters they can relate to. Whenever I ask the students why they do not like reading, they all say the content is boring or they cannot relate to the story being told. Theses special stools and ten books will used by my students for their independent reading.
