My students are struggling readers, but they are in middle school, which can make things awkward. It can be difficult to find books they care about at a reading level they can manage in order to get practice and improve their reading skills. "On the Come Up" will be the perfect book to spark their interest. It has a BIPOC female lead character, which can be difficult to find in books for this age group. Her story will allow my students to see themselves reflected in literature like a mirror, which is another important factor in getting them to want to read. Please help!
