Books to Spark Student Interest in Reading

Funded Nov 12, 2023

My students are so excited by the range of choices for their next book this semester. I have already had several students come up to me asking if they can browse my library early so they can be first in line to choose their next choice book. I have had several students borrow The Summer I Turned Pretty series and have asked to reserve The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

Your donations have also helped me develop a literature circle lesson plan, allowing my students to choose a book from a list of titles that pairs with canonical novels like The Great Gatsby. We Were Liars and Paper Towns have been huge hits with students who enjoyed the romance of Gatsby and discussed issues such as social class and privilege. With these new offerings, students have a wide variety of titles, giving them more choice and agency in my classroom.

Your donations have helped to inspire a love of reading in my students and discussions about important real-life issues students are facing in their everyday lives.”
