[LM_NET] Target: JH-Middle school -- Literacy libraries

[Sharon <slharm@CLASSICNET.NET>]

Our junior high school has added a reading/literacy class that the majority
of our 
7th grade students must take. One of teachers is pushing for a literacy
library 
with 5 copies of each book. I have convinced the principal to allow me to be
in 
loop before ordering the books. I understand what the teacher wants, but
with my 
budget cannot supply the literacy library but I do want to support the
endeavor. 
The titles she sent me include 15 fiction and 15 non fiction books with
reading 
levels from about 3.5 to 8.0. I thought the list was fair to downright
awful. 
Some of the books were great in their day but I think we need current,
exciting 
stuff to hook these kids. 



Please send me a couple of titles used in your reading/literacy classes and
I will 
post a hit. 

Thank you for the help.
