Reading for Language!

Help me give my students the opportunity to acquire the Spanish language more easily through the use of classroom readers in the target language. "Picking up word meanings by reading is 10x faster than intensive vocabulary instruction."- Krashen

My Project

Studies have shown that, “free voluntary reading may be the most powerful tool we have in language education. In fact, it appears to be too good to be true. It is an effective way of increasing literacy and language development, with a strong impact on reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and writing.” (Stephen Krashen- Linguist) It is my goal to provide my students with that opportunity.

If I acquire all of the materials necessary to implement this project, I will be able to teach my students the tools they need to gain confidence when reading in the target language.

We will read a novel together as a class and students will be able to start free voluntary reading shortly after. Reading as a class and free voluntary reading in the target language can only enhance their language acquisition.

My students have a desire to do their best and be there best when they are in the Spanish classroom. They like to have fun, take risks, and use Spanish as much as possible (even if they are just trying to earn extra credit stickers!)

Help me make my student's path to becoming bilingual that much easier by contributing to our book goal!
