I teach Reading and Language Arts to half of the 5th graders in a small town in Illinois. I co-teach with the Special Education teacher in one of my Reading and Language Arts Classes. My students' reading levels can range anywhere from 2nd grade to 7th grade in one reading class. My students view reading as “uncool”; at this point in their lives they are more interested in their social lives. This is a crucial age where either they want to become life-long readers or give up on reading for good. Their attitudes about reading are easily and directly influenced by their reading program. They are hard workers, but need good examples of published author's work to help inspire them to want to read. Many of my students just don’t have good literature at home; whether that be financial or other reasons.
