My reading group is made of scholars in quintiles 1 and 2. This means they read below grade level. Although these scholars have expressed to me their desire to increase their reading level, they do not enjoy reading. Recently, I downloaded the first three chapters of The Hate U Give. My usually squirrelly scholars were 100 percent engaged, and we were able to have important discussions at the end of each days reading. I believe this is an important book for my reading group because it’s not only a book they actually asked to read, but it gives me the opportunity to have discussions surrounding social justice and race.
