By the time they reach middle school, students often see reading as boring or just a means to an end on assessments. Our goal is to change this by creating a culture of reading on our 8th-grade team. We want each subject to have a classroom library with diverse, engaging, and interesting books for students to take home during hybrid and virtual learning. Students are even participating in a homeroom reading challenge across our team! These books will allow students to explore genres that they may have never read before, and see the world from another point of view.
