Students should read. It seems so simple. That’s been understood for generations. No one is going to argue against the importance of student literacy. However, many don’t understand just how important student literacy and reading are to student development. Reading helps students in so many areas. It helps students develop better critical and analytical skills, something that carries over even after they have put the book down. It helps to strengthen memory retention skills. It also helps with expanding vocabulary. How many times do we all search for just the right word to express what we’re trying to say? Readers do that less. They have a larger vocabulary, and the words that readers learn in a book will eventually make their way into their speech. Reading is essentials. I want to develop a love for reading in my middle school students. We are going to be reading "The Hunger Games" in the Fall of 2021 and hopefully for years to come.
