My students come from an inner city school with rampant poverty. The majority do not come from homes that value reading, or education for that matter. They grow up in predominantly single family homes with few books, if any. They do not get excited at the sight of a book they haven't read, they cringe at the thought of "having" to start a new book. The class I would like to read Magnus Chase with, just finished a reading program that was scripted and not very exciting. They are not looking forward to what the next step in their "reading" class is going to be. They have lower than grade level reading levels. When I asked my students what book they may be interested in doing once we finished the program we were working on, they wanted to read Percy Jackson. When I asked them why, my students replied that they read it in 6th grade and really liked it. I think that exposing them to another book similar to one that they know they liked, may open some doors for them.
