Building a Better Classroom Library

Help me give my students a classroom library that they are helping build. Each title and set was chosen by a student, or students, based on their reading levels and interest.

My Project

Over the years I have been gradually building a classroom library to fit the interests and needs of my students. As a Tier III Reading Instructor, the average reading level of my middle schoolers is lower than their grade level. One of the best ways to increase a student's reading level is to read.

I believe that by giving students books that are of high interest to them, they will read.

This project will allow my students to get a diverse, and educational, set of texts that will help get them excited to read.
