I want to add eighteen fresh book titles to our classroom library that my students will be excited to read. Every time students pick up a book, they are faced with new ideas, vocabulary, and sentence structures. Every minute spent reading builds upon the next, making reading easier and more enjoyable for our students. Having more types of books available will help us to be mindful of not just teaching kids to read, but instead teaching kids to truly love reading. In "Reading in the Wild", Donalyn Miller states, "We cannot overlook one truth: no matter what standards we implement or reading tests we administer, children who read most will always outperform those who don't read much."
