This year we will focus on exposing students to many different genre - the goal being to get them to experience different styles of writing, various settings, and interests. Often students get stuck in the same series or section of the library. It's comfortable, predictable and often times comforting. But there are SO many books in the library. So many wonderful books that go undiscovered.
Through the book challenges at each grade level (20 book Bingo board in 4th grade and 40 book challenge in 5th grade) teachers are actively encouraging students to venture into other areas/genres. Mostly we all just want students to find books they enjoy. Ultimately, we are all hoping students will venture on this journey and find that good fit book that will give them a great literary experience.
