Many of my students are reluctant readers and need lots of support to approach grade level. Last year, I offered the book "The Hate U Give," as an independent reading option, and saw a remarkable increase in participation from students who are typically disinterested in reading. This library will help students grow their love of reading by giving them access to inspiring characters and situations. Titles are selected from Teaching for Change's Social Justice booklists. They represent diverse identities (people of color, different socioeconomic groups, LGBTQIA, immigrants). Many of these books are selected for their emphasis on "examples of 'ordinary' people organizing and challenging injustice" (https://socialjusticebooks.org/selecting-and-rating-titles-for-social-justice-books/). Graphic novels like "March" and "Escape to Gold Mountain" will help students see U.S. history from new perspectives. Books like "Saints and Misfits" and "You in Five Acts" show young people coming of age in cultures where they are not part of the dominant group. Books will be labeled and cataloged before students engage in book "speed dating" to find titles that interest them. Students will engage with books on a daily basis at the beginning of class, and an hour of in class reading every week, eventually using Common Core standards to guide journals about their reading.
