How to Build a High-Impact Classroom Library
When intentionally designed to support learning objectives and spark curiosity, a classroom library becomes a teacher’s most valuable tool for literacy instruction and achievement.
A well-designed classroom library will:
Support learning goals to help students deepen knowledge and skills through a wide range of texts and text types.
Reflect your students to make reading more relevant, meaningful, and enjoyable.
Introduce new topics and ideas outside of students’ lived experiences to broaden knowledge and build comprehension.
Provide access to high quality grade-level texts to ensure all students experience the depth and breadth of learning vital to school and life success.
Be codesigned to ensure books are read and read a lot. Asking students what they want to read builds both trust and reading buy-in.
