Help 1st Graders Fall In Love With Spanish Chapter Books

Funded Mar 27, 2018

Thank you for your generous donations that helped fund Spanish chapter books that were highly needed for first graders. When we first received this order, we opened it up as a whole class and the students were in awe! Obtaining these Spanish chapter books allowed students to have access to engaging and relatable books. Students were overjoyed to also see themselves in these books, these books were mirrors for many of the students, especially the Pedro and Sofia books. Every time it was time to change their books, they were eager to choose these books. As Spanish books are limited, these were a huge hit in the classroom!

These books were not only used for independent reading but for partner reading, read aloud, and shared reading as well. Students were always immersed in these books. Often times, students read to their partner or independently read them fully engaged. I was able to see them smile while reading and use post-its to mark up their favorite part to share with their friends.

As I moved to another grade this year, my current students enjoy reading these books to lower grade students as read aloud. Thank you so much for your generosity and instilling the love of reading in a second language to my students. We are tremendously appreciative!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Grande
