I believe that helping students become avid readers is one of my main roles as an educator. Reading helps students become better writers, increases their vocabulary, makes students smarter, relieves stress, arms students against oppression, and will open up doors in my students' futures. However, my kids can't discover the joy of reading unless they have well-crafted, interesting books that they can choose from. They need a large library of hand-picked books from stellar authors that address current issues and universal themes. They need to see what good writing looks like in order to become great writers themselves. They need a good story to get lost in so that they become voracious readers and develop loyalties to certain genres and authors. For this to happen, however, the first step is to line all of my bookshelves with books filled with beautiful words.
