My Students

I want to encourage my students to read independently, but in order to do so, we need more books!

My middle school students have a wide range of reading interests and abilities!

Many of them have found their reading niche, while others are beginning to explore a variety of genres. My goal this year has been to have each student read at least 6 independent reading books; next year I am hoping to have each read at least 10!

My Project

The more students read high quality literature, the more they grow as readers and writers. In order to do that very important reading, students need to have access to inspiring books from which to choose their selections. These books will help students get to know classic characters and authors, joining legions of avid readers before them. We need a plethora of high quality classics to choose from as we build our classroom library and they develop into avid readers and writers!

Thank you for considering supporting our classroom library.

I can't wait to bring these books into our classroom and dive into engaging texts! It is my hope that all my students will leave my classroom with a greater sense of everything classic literature has to offer them!
