Reading is something that will never fade away. Being able to pick up a book and learn something new is a gift. Being able to pick up a book and dive into a whole new world is magical. Being able to pick up a book and be left wanting more is a goal. I hope for each student to experience each of these feelings while reading. Being able to pick up a book and discover a love for reading is my mission for each student.These books will be available in my classroom library for every day use. I picked out a few different series and types of books that will spark the interests of various students. My goal is to find each student a genre or series that speaks to them so that reading becomes an exciting journey.
