Students will read a book of their choice EVERY DAY. Creating an interest and habit of reading will be a part of our daily curriculum. I have set high reading goals for every student this year. Having lots of books for students to access will help students reach this goal. Please consider helping throughout the year by donating books to our classroom library.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Any NEW or USED young-adult book is WELCOME. Really, a gently used book on your shelf that you have already read and can now part with is perfect. You will be able to recommend it to other students!
Here are some high interest titles, which I would like to add to our classroom library. (I will update this list from time to time), but I also would love to add books which you have read or would be interested in reading. So, don't let this list limit you in any way.
*Book on the 2010-11 Sequoyah Intermediate Reading List, which students will be encouraged to read.
