To build life long readers, students need to see themselves reflected in the books read to them or they read themselves. Watching their faces light up when they make connections with books is heartwarming. I choose books with my students in mind as there is nothing more rewarding than to see each student find a book they want to read, settle into the ideal reading spot, maybe with a pillow or in a cozy corner and pull out the perfect book for them. With these new books, students will be able to find books that reflect who they are. Engagement is imperative for students to grow as readers. Having such a diverse set of books will continue to foster their love of reading.
