SETTING: Suburban southeastern middle school “This picture shows books in the library. We also have lots of books in our language arts teachers classroom libraries, and we share books with our friends from our personal collections at home. We can check out the books from the library and from our teacher any time we want. In language arts, we have to read books and take AR [Accelerated Reader] tests to get grades in class. If we don’t read and take these tests then we don’t get a good grade in class. Reading can help us in life so it supports our academic achievement.”
