Research shows that independent reading time with culturally relevant texts is critical to students' lifelong literacy learning. Help me sustain my students' identities as readers by building our classroom library for 9th grade ELA!
All students deserve access to engaging, accessible books that both reflect their own identities and offer opportunities to learn about others' identities.
The books on this list are young adult texts that reflect the interests and identities of my students, the majority of whom are Latinx and Black. They will also represent my students who identify as LGBTQ+ and students with disabilities. As I enter my third year teaching, and my first full year in person, I will need support in building out a large enough library to serve all of my students during in class independent reading.
