Currently, our classroom library holds a sparse collection of books that hardly fills a quarter of the shelf in the reading area. Even with such a limited selection, my students' enthusiasm for reading and excitement for independent reading time amazes me every day. Help me reward them by stocking our shelves with books that will make our classroom more friendly to readers of all levels and interests.
With 25 students in our class, It is nearly impossible for everyone to pick a both that is both accessible to their literacy level and suitable to their interests. This collection of books will expand the range of our library, allowing lower readers to discover reading through beautifully illustrated fairy tales and pushing strong readers to dig into their first chapter books like the Magic Treehouse series. Moreover, these books encourage students to use reading as a tool to explore their own interests including sports, animals, outer space, and world cultures. Some selections will likely find their way into the curriculum, as selections about influential African Americans and noteworthy US Presidents augment social studies instruction.
