Reading is a fundamental skill. It develops your brain and helps students do better in all subject areas. Getting middle schoolers to read is a task in itself...getting middle schoolers who are below grade level readers to not only read, but to also be able to comprehend what they’re reading is even more difficult. By giving them these options, they are allowed to read (and learn) about things that are interesting to their age group. Reading, no matter what the genre, is crucial to expanding their vocabulary as well as their fluency. “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.” – Richard Steele”
