These books will greatly strengthen and modernize our classroom library. Each day we include time for independent reading to foster in our students not only reading comprehension but a true love of reading. We sign out each book and keep them in the classroom so they can be used for years to come. These books are specifically tailored to my students' interests (like sports, graphic novels, and racial justice) as well as our curriculum (classic adaptations, refugees, and world history).
With these new books, my students will be inspired by high-interest, relevant texts that deal with modern issues.
Researchers have found that students who have access to a collection of quality books in their classrooms read 50-60% more than students who don鈥檛 (Neuman, 1999; Capatano et al., 2009). 鈥淲ell stocked, high-quality classroom libraries can generate interest and motivation for reading, support differentiated instruction through better matching of students with texts, and provide the means to the practice necessary to develop expert
reading skills.鈥 (Capatano et al., 2009, p. 60)
