My goal as an English teacher is to help foster and develop a love of reading and novels. Many of my students have not read a book of their own choosing ever.
Students who read contemporary, high interest, and culturally relevant novels will find more enjoyment in the words and connection to themselves. Reading just 20 minutes a day increases vocabulary, reading stamina, and helps on standardized tests. My students and book club members will be so grateful to get their hands on these novels.
I have also started a Project Lit book club in my high school and these novels will be used for that purpose too! The goal is to foster a book club with students, teachers, administrators, parents, and community member all sitting around and discussing the same novel.
