These books will help create a classroom environment rich in engaging texts. Many of my students do not read for fun, and have low self-perceptions and self-efficacy of their literacy and reading skills. Many of the novels that my school provides are not culturally relevant, and students do not see themselves in the characters or situations they are put in. I want students to read an engaging and highly-relevant text while still meeting Common Core Standards and literacy benchmarks. My ultimate goal with this novel study is to change student perceptions of reading by making it fun.
