Continue the Love of Reading

Help me give my students books that will draw them into the love of reading.

My Project

Next school year, I will be moving from first grade to middle school (grades 5-8) reading intervention. By expanding my classroom library collection to include books for middle school readers, I hope to give them a selection of high-interest books they can borrow and enjoy.

Please help me give my students quality books that will grab their interest and encourage reading.

Many of these students may enjoy listening to stories, but reading on their own might be a struggle. These books are at a variety of reading levels to meet the needs of my students.
