If the number one way for students' reading skills to improve is to read often, then the key is to have books that students are interested in! It's important for any classroom library collection to be diverse and include a wide range of topics and reading levels.
I've compiled a list of nonfiction, STEAM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Arts & Math) related books that match the interests of my students.
Please help me expand my book collection to include these titles, which are geared toward my deaf teenage students' personal interests and career goals.
