In a recent survey, over 80% of my students self-identified as avid readers in elementary schools. Only 15% feel that way now. Building readers now improves the likelihood of becoming lifelong learners. My classroom library is old and has very few Young Adult options. The students spend long periods of time lookin through the library and then find nothing. On a teacher salary, I can’t afford to buy them a brand new library full of engaging and new books. I need your help! My students are craving new reading material to engage and inspire them while also improving their reading skills. A large number of my students come from low-income families or are English Language Learners and either can’t afford to buy new books at home or don’t have access to accessible texts.
