Research shows that access to education saves lives, reading is the fist step to being a better student. I want to foster a love of reading in my students and the only way to do that is to allow them to choose their own books. My school has an incredible library, but it does not have enough copies of high interest young adult titles for me to have students participate in book clubs. Book clubs foster a joy of reading, and joyful reading increase vocabulary, and increased vocabulary provides access to high educational skills, and a better education saves lives!
