My students need to see various genres of text. Since we are learning virtually, it has been difficult to keep reading fun and engaging for them. I want to provide book of various level for my students to practice and enjoy. I want to instill in my students that reading can be fun and it is very important to ensure a successful future. Many of my students are English language learners and they would benefit from having access to books at home. I could deliver books to my students that interest them and would give them the practice they need to become fluent readers.
