The high-interest books will continue to aid in the goal of creating lifelong readers; something that is so beneficial that one cannot overlook its importance. Reading opens so many doors and is so rewarding. Mental stimulation, increased memory, vocabulary expansion, decrease in stress, improved focus, and concentration are just some of the benefits. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. I have created a reading “nook” where students gravitate to read and explore new worlds. Every student book that is placed in my library is carefully selected and in turn treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
