My Students
What was it that inspired your love of reading? For me it was books that I could personally relate to, and books that met my needs by feeding my interest. Please feed reading habits for 8th grade students in a rural town!
Students live in a small friendly rural community that has grades Pre-K to 8th grade.
Due to our tight knit school the older students, the 8th graders, sometimes feel as though they are treated like a younger student. By having books that fit their interests, needs, and cater to an older thinking I can help the 8th grade students know that I understand their need to want to be a young adult.
My Project
With the books I am requesting I will be able to cater to some of the requests students have made for reading. I will also be able to help support some of the reading material I already have in the classroom. For example, the text Delirium was bought for a student and she loved it so much that she has shared this with others and many are requesting to read the sequel (which is on the requested list). I will not only help support life long reading habits, but I will be bolstering new reading habits for many of the students.
I have recently found that when I find a text that speaks to a student that student will talk about the text to others, such as their parents, siblings, or friends.
In turn, these people then ask to borrow the text. This brings on a domino event of reading and everyone is learning while they read, discussing the books with one another causing actual conversation!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
