The 11 students that I serve in my small group ELA resource class currently independently read on a Kindergarten to a 4th grade level. Our bi-weekly trips to the school library begin with excitement and anticipation of what they will soon discover, but are far too often ended with disappointment and dismay with the selection of books that are geared towards their ability levels. With a lack of appropriate reading selections, my students begin to feel as if there is no use in even trying to read.
My classroom is in desperate need of books, from engaging picture books to novels packed with imagery, and everything inbetween. Creating a classroom library that reflects all reading ability levels will not only boost the confidence of my emerging middle school readers, but will also allow my classroom to grow as a whole into a new world of discovery.
I have chosen books ranging from the 2nd to 4th grade levels for this specific project. These books will be used for independent and read aloud activities. My students are challenged to read 20 minutes every night and most do not own books at home. My students will be able to check these books out of our classroom library to take home throughout the week. These specific books challenge social norms, dive into ideas that will spark their imaginations, and begin to teach my students how to form their own opinions.
My school also has a large population of Spanish speaking students, many of whom are identified in the Exceptional Children's program and are assigned to me in my resource classes. Having a classroom library set of lower level books will allow them to become familiarized with the written English language and the literary elements that coincide.
