If my 8th grade students are passing books on the sly to one another, then something good is happening in reading class.
I teach in a high-need, diverse school that fully includes English Language Learners and Special Education students in the general education classroom. We have created a climate that promotes reading at our school. There are outstanding selections for students in the library. . .if they are under the age of ten. My 8th grade students are willing to read independently, actually the majority are eager to read independently - when they've got the books they're interested in reading. (Come on. Even us avid readers prefer to read what we like to read! No one wants to spend a rainy Saturday reading Lord of The Rings - even if it has been proclaimed outstanding - if they hate fantasy!) My students will read independently. My students will become lifelong readers. . .if they have reading material they are interested in reading. My students are interested in Sharon Draper books. My one copy of each book is not getting the job done. "Really? How long am I going to have to wait on the next one?"
"Check the waiting list."
I need to put an end to this conversation in my classroom!
I need multiple copies of Sharon Draper's books for my classroom lending library. Students enjoy reading these books independently as well as in small groups or with a partner. Enhancing my classroom library with these books will enable me to meet the reading interests and needs of my students. You can literally get books into the hands of my students. You can help me continue to create lifelong readers. You can be the Copper Sun for my students! You can Forge their reading Fire! hide» My students need need multiple copies of books written by Sharon Draper. details» |
