"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go" -Dr. Seuss. Reading promotes both social and academic growth, which will help students in future endeavors both inside and outside the classroom. Having a variety of books will allow students to find ones that peak their interest and receive the many benefits that reading has to offer. Creativity and imagination are essential 21st century skills, which need to be encouraged and cultivated in our students. Reading is one way to spark imagination and curiosity, as students read books that allow them to explore new worlds, expand their horizons, and open their minds to new possibilities. Students step into new perspectives, empathize with characters, and often connect with universal themes while reading. Being a new teacher, I am just starting to build my library. I care deeply about creating one that contains books students can become enthralled in. I would greatly appreciate any and all assistance in forming a classroom library that helps all students find and strengthen their love for reading.
