Some books were series specifically requested by my students and they dove right into reading them. Some were ones I thought they might enjoy and they have been pleasantly surprised by they variety! \r\nIn my classroom they can choose to read in the mornings, after recess or when they finish work. Reading helps many students regulate themselves and be ready to learn. If there isn't a book they are interested they can struggle to regulate themselves after high energy activities such as recess.
