Although I teach 4th and 5th graders, the majority of my students are reading at a Kindergarten through 2nd grade reading level. Currently, our classroom library does not have enough books for the students who need the most support. Students at lower reading levels require a copious amount of books to help them build their vocabulary and practice decoding text. "Just right" books are interesting and accessible texts that are integral to reading instruction. By using "just right" books during reader's workshop and literacy stations, students will not only grow as readers but also develop a stronger sense of themselves and their identities in this world. Without "just right" books, students can feel frustrated and defeated. A library that has all of our students in mind would help our students feel successful in literacy and excited to read. We need "just right" books that will not only help students grow academically, but also that will help students feel empowered and fall in love with reading.
