Building a Classroom Library

Help me give my students a classroom library to promote recreational reading with different types of books.

My Project

My students enjoy reading graphic novels during silent reading time. Our classroom library has a small, limited selection of books for students to choose from. I want to expand the classroom library and introduce different types of books to the students. By doing so, I hope to encourage them to go to the classroom library more frequently and try different types of genres. Children are more interested in books that appeal to their interests. This will help encourage them to find reading more enjoyable, enhance their reading skills, and develop a deeper appreciation for literature. Our classroom library can use a new addition of books to ignite a passion for readers.
