My students love to read, but our classroom library is outdated. The students will use these books for independent reading time during the school day. Students will, after a year and half in a virtual setting, be able to have access to a tangible library in the classroom filled with new, contemporary, and diverse books! Students will be able to choose books that match their interests and reading levels. Every Friday will be dedicated to a brief mini lesson focused on the standards, followed by independent reading time supported with small group instruction and reading conferences. The goal is to foster a culture of a reading and help raise students' independent reading levels. I have selected a range of books on different reading levels that will support all readers in my classroom.
