The children in my class have diverse backgrounds, home lives and experiences with literature. The majority of kids at my school are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. For many of them, a classroom library would represent their primary literary resource. Many of them have told me that they don’t like to read or weren’t read to as young children, but when I look around during an interactive read-aloud, they are listening with rapt attention.
