The pandemic has caused a large gap in reading levels among students. Some students, mainly those who read on their own, are at or above grade level, while many other students have fallen behind. Many students say they hate reading, they don't read, and they won't read. However, when those same students become interested in a book, it's amazing to see how excited they become. Reading groups focused on Dystopian literature (futuristic failed societies where the teen main characters are fighting against unfair rules) connect students with books they actually enjoy. Think of the Hunger Games, which became a massive movie series. Students enjoy Dystopian novels because, even though the setting is not realistic to modern America, the problems the characters face connect with students as a cautionary tale of our own future, leading to excellent class discussion. Each book selected fits in with science fiction or dystopian literature, providing a well-rounded selection of different books for students to pick from, so that they're not all forced to read the same book, even when they have no interest. Students do enjoy reading, but they have to find the right books, and in these pandemic-affected times, students need more selections to choose from in order to find books that speak to them.
