Choosing their own books makes reading more
enjoyable, enticing them to learn independently
outside of the classroom.
Students develop a sense of ownership and
responsibility, increasing their motivation to
read and care for their books.
Expanding student access to books of choice
improves their overall vocabulary skills and
verbal fluency.
Students who read more do better in academic
tests than those who do not.
