My students read every day, but this becomes difficult when they don't have books they really want to read. In order to raise their AR reading scores, they should be reading regularly - again, something that is hard when they are not motivated. Our library is old, and a lot of the books outdated and tattered - new books would make a world of difference. With new books, especially books that are on the AR system, it could help raise their scores and motivate them to try new kinds of texts. It will improve their focus and reading stamina, and allow me to start introducing higher level texts into the classroom.
