Diversity has a direct impact on student performance. Classrooms are becoming more and more diverse. My classroom is made up of students from a variety of cultures, English proficiency levels, races, and socio-economic statuses. As a reading teacher, I found that the traditional selection of books doesn't expose my students to different cultures and social groups.

I want​ the texts to be relatable and focus on contemporary issues.
