5 Must-Haves for Your Middle School Classroom Library
Choosing the right materials for your classroom library can boost engagement and cultivate a habit of reading for pleasure.
When students are in elementary school, they are often surrounded by inviting books that help build their interest in and love of reading. Once students get to middle school, many are interacting only with the assigned texts from their English language arts classes, and they quickly forget the concept of reading for pleasure.
Some students find it difficult to connect with the books they are reading, while others struggle to comprehend the material. In both cases, students can become disengaged from reading entirely.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
