I have gotten to know students who were in search of snacks and who now ask for help writing their personal statements for college, scholarships, and job applications.

We hope that by reading more titles that they find fun, they will begin to challenge themselves to read more, and improve their reading levels over all in and outside of the classroom.\r\nMy students come into class first thing in the morning excited to find their books, and find out what happens next.
