Many of my students are reluctant readers. Reading has never been enjoyable for many of my seventh graders, primarily because reading is difficult for them. Instead of guessing what my students would be interested in reading, I had each of them make a list of what they would like to see in our classroom library. The results were interesting and very diverse. Some enjoy certain genres, some certain authors, and some would like to see more graphic novels in our selection.
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body - Joseph Addison.
Finding enjoyable books for all my students and learning to love reading is the ultimate goal!
