My Students

Students in grades 5-8 often lose interest in reading at this age level. A large reason is that they feel like they cannot find anything that appeals to them.

Each year, publishers release books that cater to this waning group of young readers.

From graphic novels to sports fiction, to the ever popular dystopian fiction, new books come out to provide engagement for students at all reading levels. The students need a well stocked library in order to do that. There are many students who would read if they had the right materials in their hands.

My Project

Students at grade 5-8 age level need new books that relate to what they are going through everyday or provide an escape to a new world. These books, both middle grade and young adult, are the stories the students want and need. Old and new authors come out with stories every month and it's difficult to keep up with all the new releases.

We receive a lot of feedback from out students about what books to get for the library.

They mostly enjoy either graphic novels or fantasy books, so we try to fill our libraries with those kinds of books. My hope is to provide the students with what they want to keep them reading!
