Help me encourage students to check out books from the library while giving them a chance for a free book at the same time! My hope is to motivate students to read and want to always have a book in hand. I think the diverse choice of giveaway books could show students various genres, and subject matter of books that are available to them. We know that if students do not have a book available to them, they are not reading. I want to fix that! Our students, in general, THINK they are not readers. I want to show them that with the right book they ARE readers! We just need to find the type of book, or books, that inspire them and keep them reading. Please help me to encourage and motivate my students to want to read and learn new things.
