Help Ms. Savage

I teach 6th grade Language Arts at a Charter school in Maryland. The great majority of my students qualify for free lunch, and come from high needs homes.

Every day my students participate in at least 15 minutes of Self Selected Reading, however, because they come from high needs families, for the most part they do not have books at home to bring to school. As a result, I am trying to add onto my classroom library with titles that I have noticed my students are interested in reading.

These books will greatly impact my students' lives. The purpose of daily Self Selected Reading is to encourage students to enjoy reading on a day by day basis. I am requesting these specific high-interest young adult novels because these are books that I have seen my students reading and sharing with one another, and they would be very pleased to see them in our library, where they would be available to them all the time.

Your help will ensure that my students are enjoying reading, and will further help to increase reading fluency as they prepare themselves for high school and beyond.
