I currently teach a reading intervention program. Each semester students are required to read 2 books. Needless to say, we need A LOT of books as 45 books can be checked out at a time. Many of our students have been with us a couple years as well, so they have exhausted our library. Many of the books are outdated, torn, and have few copies. My goal is to update my personal library so students have direct access to books right at their fingertips that they enjoy. New books bring an excitement to the classroom library. I have tried my best to get new books during the school year but limited funds have made it difficult. When the winter semester started, I took a poll to determine what kinds of books my students would enjoy to have and would like to read for class. Captain Underpants, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and the Dork Diaries series won by a landslide. These books also help our ESL students as pictures associated with texts are very beneficial to ELL students. Not only will these books be a great resource for my students, but they will be more likely to reach their 2 book goal when they have a selection of books they enjoy. They will look forward to finishing their book so they can select another from our shiny, new collection! The books will be solely kept in the classroom and enjoyed for school years to come!
