Many of my students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and do not have many reading materials at home. When asked about what they enjoy to read, many of them have no answer or their answer is "nothing." While students do not necessarily have to love to read, I would like for them to not hate reading. I am asking for a variety of books from different genres and mediums. While many of the books are the standard literature books, some are graphic novels. I would like to use the graphic novels for those who may not be fluid readers, but are able to read something similar to a comic book. Many of the books cater to my large African American population of students, but there are also many books from different cultures as well. Many of the books are award-winning books, and on top lists for young adult readers. For students who are new to reading for their personal pleasure, I would like to give them as many well-written books as possible with varying topics, genres, and cultures.
