I have bookshelves lining the walls of my classroom.
With this grant, I will purchase new fiction and non-fiction; engaging books will fill those bookshelves.
Students are required to read three books for outside reading per semester that they choose themselves, based on their interests. According to Richard L. Allington in his book What Really Matters for Struggling Readers, "Higher achieving schools had more books in classroom library collections than were found in lower-achieving schools." "The current situation in many schools is that struggling readers participate in 30 to 60 minutes of appropriate reading intervention instruction and then spend the remaining five hours a day sitting in classrooms with texts they cannot read, cannot learn to read from, cannot learn science or social studies from." Allington, in his book What Really Matters in Response to Intervention, describes how easy access to appropriately leveled and engaging books motivates students to read. Improving reading skills allows them to thrive as students.
