My students, language learners, love to read books in the classroom. Worlds open up to them here, limited only by their imaginations. For many of them, unfortunately, these worlds and possibilities are constrained to the classroom because of a lack of books at home. My students are learners of varying English language proficiency, cultural and linguistic background, and age (K-5). They come from families that value hard work and perseverance. In the classroom, they are largely students that love to learn, finding joy in the discovery of new ideas and the discussion of characters and stories both familiar and strange. They are also students who have a great need: their opportunities to experience the world are often limited by financial and logistical constraints on their families. They are diverse and enthusiastic and desire more chances to explore the world, real and imagined, through reading.
