Books, books, and more books-I'm so excited to have the opportunity to create a classroom library !! Most people assume that public schools have a well-stocked and up-to-date library for student use. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Two years ago, our school library was torn down and turned into a "media center". This means the books that were featured in our library are now floating around the district somewhere, and we are left with 10 computer stations that are left virtually untouched by students.
Reading is essential to student success. Reading skills are needed at all levels of one's education and students must read to learn as they progress to high school and college where they must take charge of their own academic knowledge.
Reading teaches and reinforces skills in sentence structure, vocabulary, comprehension, and grammar, but it also allows students explore and learn about the world around us. Nonfiction pieces can take students around the world to learn about far away places. Works of fiction can open the creative minds of young people, and help foster future goals and dreams. A love of reading leads to a love of learning, and to invest in books, is to invest in the future. Thank you.
