Cultivating Spanish Literacy by Growing Confident Readers

The Description

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go," is Dr. Sue's famous quote from his amazing book I Can Read With My Eyes Shut." Reading is an essential and fundamental skill for all learners, especially when learning a new language. Book sets are tools that will provide readers countless adventures while building lifelong reading habits.

My diverse students are bilingual readers. Having a rich classroom library filled with books from a variety of levels, genres, and topics to choose from will provide them with rich-text experiences that will last a life-time. The Spanish texts in the collections will allow my Spanish Dual Language students to practice reading and build essential skills such as fluency and vocabulary.

My previous teaching history has been teaching English in mainstream classrooms. Throughout the years, I have collected an extensive English classroom library to provide my students with a variety of book selections. Next year, I will begin a new journey in a Dual Immersion Spanish classroom. These books would significantly enhance the current set of books available to my students. These rich classroom sets of diverse, Spanish books for my students to read are essential for their growth as Spanish readers, writers and learners.
