Many researchers have focused on the positives of why books are an essential part of a language curriculum, especially for kids. This isn’t anything new, going back as early as 1995 researchers Moeller & Meyer researched the positives of using books in early childhood second language acquisition. They found that since children’s literature makes use of natural language patterns in familiar contexts that the students can relate to, that it helped the students to make connections and recollect those language structures much faster. Students are surrounded by books in their grade-level classrooms, and ask me, "Maestra, where are the books in Spanish?" Two class sets of novels with fun narratives starring native South American animals will get my students excited about reading, and the low unique word counts in these books will boost their confidence and build proficiency as they follow the stories. The second group of books in this project is a variety of compelling titles for young Spanish learners. These short, leveled books will be an exciting addition to our classroom library. I have carefully chosen books I know that my students, at their level, will understand and enjoy.
