Books, Books, Books, Books, Books, Books ... and Tape
My students need books they enjoy reading, like the Lunar Chronicles, Dear Dumb Diary, Last Kids on Earth, and Castle in the Sky; book tape serves to help preserve these books.
My students visit our school library both on their own and with their classes. They eagerly flock to my shelves to read books that spark their interests. Keeping the shelves stocked with compelling books, and keeping those books in good condition, can be a difficult task.
My students are a great bunch of kids, with a from a variety of backgrounds and experiences.
Between all of my students, nearly every genre and subject is in demand. When students have access to books that interest them, they love to read.
Our students tend to be less economically well off, and I want to ensure that they still have equal access to the materials that are available to students in wealthier neighborhoods.
My Project
Realistic humor books and dystopian science fiction books spark interest in my students. I'd like to give them access to even more books, so that they continue to read for pleasure and thus build their reading skills.
By giving students books they actually want to read, they'll read more and become better readers.
Students read more when they enjoy what they are reading. The books I'm asking for are either additional copies of books already in heavy use, or books similar in style and genre to the books they already enjoy.
Reading for pleasure is the best way to improve my students' reading skills.
