Books, Books and More Books
Students are always asking me for book recommendations and I'm happy to oblige, but you will not always have me around to point out the literary gems. Below are some sites I frequent to get ideas of what I might purchase for my classroom library. It is sooooo important to keep the best texts in students' hands so they don't give up on reading. Once they quit, it takes a tremendous effort to get them re-engaged. If you have any other lists that are noteworthy, please e-mail me and I will gladly post them. Happy browsing!
