Help me give my students a library of famous figures that will promote a love of reading.

My Project
I am teaching a very diverse class of 2nd grade students. I want to promote a love of learning and make them aware of all the famous figures that have paved the way for others. These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy-I read on the carpet to them, they complete work there, and they read independently! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind-I have watched them the past few weeks of school read titles just like these, and I have also asked them what type of books they would enjoy reading. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.
With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of biography books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level.
They will also be able to choose books that interest them based on the real life people. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
More than half of students from low‑income households
