My Students

Ralph Waldo Emerson said "'Tis the good reader that makes the good book." At our school we are building great readers with our classroom libraries.

My students are sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders at a public middle school in a large, urban school district.

Many of the students are considered financially disadvantaged. A large minority of the students are English language learners. In order to encourage language development, we strongly focus on independent reading.

My Project

Unfortunately we don't have the resources at our school to keep up with the hottest new releases in young adult literature, so students can't necessarily get a book they want to read when they want to read it. In constant rotation, the hottest titles are prized treasures that will be borrowed over and over. I would like to provide my students with an updated library of young adult novels so that they have access to the books they want to read.

My students will read, happily, and improve their independent reading skills, as long as they are interested and enthusiastic about what they are reading.

Please help me turn my students into life-long lovers of books by providing my class with a library of current, young-adult novels.
