Literature within the classroom holds a vast amount of benefits to the children within it; however, reading just any book doesn't just cut it. Students need to be engaged and interested in what they are reading, and these books need to be on the student's reading level. They need to be able to have a choice in what they read and have the ability to take their books home for additional practice. A beneficial classroom library is about more than the quantity of books, but rather the quality. With this project, I have selected books on a variety of different levels with a variety of different topics to begin my classroom library. These books will allow students to have a choice in what they read and will encourage active engagement. Reading will not be an expectation only within the classroom. Through this project, I will have the ability to send books home with students to have additional practice with at home.
