I teach at a Title I school in an urban district. A majority of my students are from low-income families and are students of color. When I first started off teaching, I had a small classroom library filled with outdated, hand-me-down books. The bindings had worn down and the words had begun fading off the pages. It was hard for students to get students to want to pick up a book. My first project's goal was to fill my library with books with protagonists of color so that my students can connect to the characters they read about. This proved to be highly successful and I was able to help more students find a love for reading. My upcoming project aims to be even more inclusive of different characters. Reading isn't a chore. It is a way to learn and grow!
