Kids are never too young to enjoy reading! It is important to stress the importance of reading to students at a young age while simultaneously making it an enjoyable activity. Imagination and curiosity are fueled by reading books, which helps students in their overall creative process. Books can be used to help young children understand change, differences, diversity, or new events, and the emotions that accompany them. This is an exciting project because it is the first classroom library for both my students and me! Appreciation for diversity at a young age helps students to be appreciative of themselves, their family, and their community and welcome the differences that make them and their classmates unique! Many of my students are going to be beginning level readers, so it is important to give them books that will be engaging and interesting at their reading level. I want my students to read books that they can understand and relate to. By creating a diverse classroom library, my students can see characters in these books that look like them, sound like them, celebrate the same holidays as them, share identical dialects, and/or have a similar family life. Children can identify differences. It is critical that children feel comfortable acknowledging and accepting these differences as they recognize them. I aim to help my students accomplish that through reading and making these realizations independently. I will use the books in my classroom to read aloud to my students. However, I want my students to be able to look through their very own classroom library and select books they are interested in reading. I believe that if students have the opportunity to pick out their own books, they will gain a desire to read more which helps them to build their foundational reading skills!
