As a Gen Ed ELA Teacher in a large district, our book room cannot completely support the reading and interest needs of our student population. We can only ask for so much from our district's budget in terms of supplies each year, and those supplies are typically reserved for curriculum based (read: "the literary canon") reading and texts. Research and experience have proved to me that student choice in independent reading and book club activities are what really get students interested in texts, and, in order to encourage independent reading, contemporary and multicultural literature is a must! By supplying students with more options for reading, they are more likely to become engaged and interested in the text itself as well as the activities we participate in within the classroom. Book Clubs are an integral component to my classroom syllabus, and the more access students have to interesting texts, the more success they will attain as readers and as learners!
