My Project

The 6th grade students in my classroom are constantly looking for new books that will grab them as readers. I am constantly on the search for different books to add to our classroom library and have found some great ones as part of this project.

As their teacher, I want to foster a life-long love of reading and always want to add new books to our collection that they haven't seen before.

Adding in these high interest books will make these amazing students want to read more. In addition, they will help my reluctant readers find books they are interested in and will hopefully hook them with a new series.
