My Project

I have a class of lively, enthusiastic, energetic sixth-grade Language Arts students. All of them are English learners, with a number who arrived in this country and began learning English for the first time less than a month ago. All but three are boys.

I'm asking for a collection of mostly picture books in Spanish for my newcomer students to read during independent reading time to help them develop into avid readers who can read quietly and independently for extended periods of time.

Of course, we will also be reading books in English, but, especially for my newest arrivals, reading in English involves additional challenges making it difficult to relax into a good book and enjoy the process. These books will be added to our classroom library to be read during independent reading time and checked out for reading at home.
