In my 10th grade English Language Arts classroom, I strive to help every student find books that help them fall in love with (or continue to love) reading! I have some reluctant readers, kids who can't quite find a book that appeals to them enough to break that learning barrier.
I am hoping to cultivate a larger collection of books to excite my student readers, especially those who don't believe they enjoy reading.
This wish list is full of texts that will appeal to particular types of students who struggle to find a book in my classroom that they enjoy. By adding these books to my classroom library, I will have more resources to help me be successful at placing a "just right" book into a student's hands to help spark the joy that reading can be!
