Being an English teacher, it is important that I expose my students to a wide variety of reading materials. Having a large class library will help me do that. Throughout the week, I encourage my students to not only read what is required, but to also read for entertainment. Having easy access to books in my classroom will help the students accomplish this goal. The more books I have, the more they can read! Besides in-class reading, I will also have a "check-out" system. This will allow students the opportunity to take a book home with them to read when there isn't enough time in class. I have the bookshelves, now I just need the books!
