I am requesting high-interest books that will spark curiosity and help my students love reading! Over the course of the pandemic as students have been learning from home, I have gradually depleted my classroom library as I did what I could to get physical books into kids' hands. Now students are coming back for hybrid learning and I don't have books for them to read, so these books will form my new classroom library. I will be transitioning to special education next year, so it is crucial to offer my students highly engaging books that even struggling or reluctant readers will be excited about. The books I have chosen are high-interest, super engaging books that will appeal to a wide variety of readers at different reading levels. I picked several series that feature children of color as protagonists so that my students can see themselves reflected in the books they read. I also chose books that are written for older students who are reading at a lower level. It is often difficult to find books that will appeal to upper-elementary and middle school students who are still learning to read, but in my experience, these books (graphic novels, fantasy series, and comical early readers) are incredibly popular with all readers, no matter their level. With your help, my students will be able to look forward to independent reading time and I'll be able to match every student with a book they'll love.
