Students are encouraged to read whenever they have free time, whether that's during independent work, after finishing assignments, or during designated reading blocks. This freedom has helped build positive reading habits and allows students to choose books that genuinely interest them, making reading something they look forward to rather than a task to complete.\r\n\r\nAll of my students have enjoyed exploring these new books, but they have been especially impactful for my students of color. Seeing characters who look like them and share similar experiences has helped them feel seen, valued, and excited about reading.
