These new books have made such a difference for my students. YA literature gives them the chance to see characters who are close to their own age, facing real challenges and emotions that feel relevant to their lives. This connection makes reading more meaningful and motivates students to read more often and more deeply.\r\n\r\nThrough these books, we've been able to explore important skills such as analyzing character choices, identifying themes, and comparing text to students' own experiences. Reading now feels authentic—students are not just practicing comprehension, but also reflecting, questioning, and discussing big ideas.\r\n\r\nOne student who rarely showed interest in reading has now discovered a favorite YA author and proudly recommends the books to classmates. Moments like this show how powerful it is when students see themselves and their world reflected in literature.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a community of readers who are excited to learn and share.
