For the Love of Reading V
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
My students are everyday teenagers from all walks of life with a wide range of ability levels from freshmen reading at 3rd grade levels to Advanced Placement seniors preparing for college.
The less proficient readers work hard but struggle to find books that will spur their desire to read. While the middle and advanced students do not have the same struggles academically, they are all lively, unique teenagers who jump from book to book not always finding the one that will inspire them to become life long readers.
My Project
Some teenagers love to reading, but most believe they do not. They don't think there is a book out there that interest them. Each book selected is designed to connect with my students in some way. In addition to new titles, I have included titles that have been favorites of past students. These titles, "The Hate U Give" and "Milk and Honey" for example, fly off the shelf and often have a waiting list. To give more students an opportunity to read and talk about these books, I am requesting additional copies.
It is my hope that the variety of options I continue to offer will ignite a passion for reading!
