Independent Reading Books Students Will Love!

Help me give my students diverse independent reading books that they will enjoy!

This project is fully funded

Mrs. Swenson Mariner High School
Everett, WA Grades 9-12

My Project

I have selected a wide variety of books that are recommended by our school librarian or have been in high demand in the past. These are books with diverse authors and a variety of genres so that our students are able to find a book they can connect with and enjoy! Students read independent reading books each day in class, which helps to foster a lifelong love of reading. Having these books in the classroom helps to break down some of the barriers our students have to accessing books. Over the next year, students access to books will be even more limited as our school library is being relocated and remodeled. We have wonderful students who love to read. These are books that I know will bring them joy!
