With any student, captivating them enough to put down their technology and pick up a book is worse than taking a trip to the dentist. After asking students who speak some English what they like to read, many of them wanted action, sports, entertainment to name a few. This literacy book project gives my students a little bit of what they want, yet it opens them up to reading about survival and not giving up, work hard to achieve in a world that is not always kind to those that are different from themselves. I've carefully selected books that will inspire them to go beyond their present circumstances and see a brighter future. Although they are emerging English Language Learners, these books will benefit all students that enter my classroom.
