Books that are reflective of my students will allow for them to obtain a love for reading they may have never experienced. These novels, informative texts, and graphic novels will allow each and every student in my classroom to find a book that they can connect with. From books about the inner-city to ones that will teach coding, every student will be able to find a piece of themselves in the books selected for my library revamp. Our classroom library is a place my students enjoy, however as they get older they begin to disconnect with the titles they are presented. It is my goal to find books that allow for my students to continue to strengthen their love of reading. These books will allow for my students to grow stronger in reading fluency and comprehension. Furthermore, these books will strengthen my students' abilities to independently read and select books on their own. Mirrored reading selections will allow for my students to connect with reading for enjoyment.
