Students do best when they have choices. There is a developing goal across the Newport-Mesa School District, in the English department, to give students more choices in the titles they read. To this end, the requested books supplement the titles we already teach. A student may be given a choice between two non-fiction titles or between two novels that cover similar themes. Some students may read all of one title but just a section of another as an enhancement of the ideas covered in the full text. When students read different books, they often encourage their classmates to read the same book, potentially doubling the amount of reading each student does. Supplemental reading enhances student literacy and allows teachers to differentiate instruction in English classes giving more challenging books to competent readers and easier books to struggling readers. Teachers also enjoy having choices as particular groups of students respond better to certain types of books and having flexibility in the titles offered, allows teachers to better meet student needs and interests.
