My kids need books that match their personalities. I teach a fourth grade class in a high-need area of New York. My kids are a goofy, fun-loving bunch but the books in my classroom are antiquated and falling apart. The kids often complain to me that reading them is boring. They can't continue to feel this way about reading! Our situation especially breaks my heart because almost two thirds of my class read below grade level. These kids need motivation.
