I always tell students that if they don’t like reading, they aren’t reading the right thing, and they are finally, FINALLY buying into that! However, while I try to provide them with books and lessons that are appealing, relevant, and even highly suggested by students and other teachers, I can only provide so many on my own. I have finally found titles that students WANT to read, but maintaining a classroom library, much less a library of “good books,” is tough. Getting books into the hands of students is so important for their learning and college preparation that I need to make books available when possible.
