Reading for enjoyment relieves stress, creates enjoyment, encourages stamina and perseverance, and increases reading comprehension and vocabulary levels across all courses in school.
Please note that I won't know that details of every book a student reads and I won't remember the details of all of the books I suggest to students. Suggestions are based on ideas from books I have read during my teaching career or ones I read as a student, recommendations from librarians and teaching colleagues, lists from local authors and bookstore owners, and websites dedicated to young readers and youth fiction or non-fiction. Although I read as many Young Adult books a year as I can, it is ultimately the responsibility of the student and the parent to ensure that the books students choose for individual reading are the right fit for the right student! Please feel free to pick up a copy of your child's book and discuss it with him/her--the dialogue is beneficial to students as readers!
Happy reading :)
