My goal is to have every student that leaves my class actually enjoy reading. If they learn to enjoy reading, I believe that their reading levels will increase dramatically, as the more often students read, the more proficient they will become. This is why I chose the high-interest books to add to our modest library. I chose books based on student interests to entice students to open up the books and read.
In addition to the books on my list, I included tablets to ensure that all students in my class can access books in a format that meets their needs. Many of my students have specific learning disabilities that prevent them from accessing reading material in traditional manners. Tablets allow my students to access audiobooks both to listen to books and to follow along with the narrator. This will allow students to access school material, as well as books that students choose to read through free digital libraries.
