My students need more books from their favorite authors. They are hooked on three different authors (including Liz Kessler and Kimberly Willis Holt). They also need a pencil sharpener.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students have finally met some authors that captured their imaginations. Every day they beg me to find more books from three popular authors.
My students are 86% free reduced lunch, but they have become hooked on reading this year!
Every day they spend 45 minutes reading novels in the classroom. For many students, this is the first time they have read novels in school!
I have picked authors that have many titles to hopefully hook students on authors. Now that they are hooked, I need more books to satisfy their appetite for reading!
My Project
I have picked two novel sets that are from authors I know students will love. The students read those sets in class and discuss them with me and their peers. I have also found additional titles by the same author, so that as more students find authors they like, they have a steady supply of just right books!
I am also requesting a pencil sharpener because we don't have one that is functional. The students write about what they have read, but that is difficult without a working pencil sharpener!
Do you remember when you found an author that you loved and couldn't stop reading his or her books?
That is what I hope for each of my students. I want them to have the confidence to read novels and know what they enjoy reading!
