Library for Choice

Help me give my students a library with variety so that they can choose a book to read based on their own choice that gives them a chance to learn using material that they are interested in reading.

My Project

Help me create a library with variety, so that they can choose a book to read based on their own personal preference. Choice gives the students a chance to learn using material that they are interested in and that they want to read.

Student engagement is a high priority, and by giving students the chance to choose the book that they will read, and use for instruction in the classroom will help to foster that.

There is nothing greater than watching your students enjoy reading because they were able to choose from a variety of books that included their personal interests.

Grades 6-8
