I took time over the summer to go through my classroom library and level every book. When doing so, I realized that I had far too many books above grade level and not near enough at grade level. All the students in my room are eager to learn and love reading and in order to keep that love of reading alive, we need more grade appropriate books that are of high interest. Stocking up our classroom library will ensure that these students have all the tools necessary to set them up for success. Creating strong readers today will create a strong leaders for tomorrow!
