Because of a lack of reading resources at home, many of my students are not readers. It is important to attempt to create a lifelong reader by having a fabulous library in my classroom. Most of my students come to me as freshmen with a less than enthusiastic feeling toward meeting their reading goals that we set together. I need high interest reading material that will engage them and spark a love for reading. Everyone can be a reader; students just need to find the right book! I am on a mission to help students find books that are the right fit for them. Finding a love for reading is a lifelong gift. The only way to improve a student's reading level is to entice them to read. If we are unable to provide a wide variety of reading material, students will continually have a deficit in their reading levels. Deficits mean they will struggle with higher education. It would mean so much to me, and to my students, if you could help us to purchase books for my classroom library. My method of selecting which books to purchase is to use student and colleague recommendations, Kelly Gallagher's Essential Classroom Reading List and my own personal knowledge. I wish to create a lifelong love of reading within each of my students.
