The goal of this project is to help inspire my students to become better readers. Many of my students are engaged learners, but when it comes to reading independently in class or at home, some of my struggle to meet expectations. Some students attribute this to the lack of engaging books in my classroom library. Not all students see themselves in the books in my class library, something I'm hoping to address in my book selections. My goal as an English teacher has always been to encourage students to love reading as much as I do. Sadly, my school does not have a school-wide library that my students can visit to check out books, which means that my classroom library is their only option. I have replenished my library over the years, but it needs to be rejuvenated with some new and interesting books that will grab my student's attention and ignite their love for reading. Thanks for your help!
