Once a week students take a choice book home to read and dive deeper into themselves. In order to build a love of reading they need books that interest them. Books like Crosover and Booked introduce my kids to narratives they will enjoy but help them learn new ways of experiencing those narratives. Stories like Auggie and Me and Hidden Figures introduce them to familiar characters that are different from themselves in new ways. Literature should be a reflection of reality and these kids are looking for books that show them experiences that are similar to their own and maybe not so similar. They are eager to learn about the world around them and through these books they will be able to.
