After COVID - Recreating Our Library to Inspire Reading

Help me give my students great books to read in Spanish as they come back to school in the fall ready to learn. They will love reading series, like The Magic Tree House, Fly Guy, and Sofia Martínez.

My Students

A class that truly represents Brooklyn, my students are from a mix of cultures. Not only that, but my families chose to enroll their children in a dual language program. They are all committed to being bilingual and bi-literate in Spanish and English (some of the speak other languages as well).

My students are enthusiastic, curious, and caring, and truly delightful!

They check in with each other and treat each other with respect. Each day, they come to school ready to learn.

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich, diverse, bilingual classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy-I read on the carpet to them and they read independently in all of the reading nooks and spaces I have created in our classroom. Not only that, but we do this in both Spanish and English!! Every student book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and my students are avid readers.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of high interest books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level.

There are new favorites, as well as many titles that students have loved year after year (they now need to be replaced because they are over worn from so much love). I have also selected authors and main characters that are representative of my students' diversity, so that my students might see themselves in more of the books they read.

The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. I can't wait to see the excitement in my kids' eyes when we pick books for independent reading and there are so many amazing choices.
