So many of my students are excited to read at home that I can't keep the shelves of my book cart filled. Over fifty kiddos are checking out over 30 books a day and I need more of their favorites in order to keep my shelves filled.
My students love our home literacy program which provides them with books to read at home in Spanish.
This year we were lucky enough to get a new cart that is larger than our old one and new book boxes to use to organize our books. With the new way to find things, over thirty books are being taken home each day. The shorter ones are returned quickly, but chapter books take a while longer.
There's a constant wait list for students waiting for a few of our favorite series of chapter books and some of our favorite authors of picture books. Of course, there's nothing wrong with waiting a day or two to get your favorite book, but I'm hoping to find extra copies of some of our favorites to make sure that I can keep the kiddos' backpacks full of great books to read at home.
My Project
Our school teaches in English, but includes many children who speak Spanish. Because we want to encourage students to read at home and with their families, we realized that we need to be able to offer books in Spanish that students can read either alone or with others at home.
This year just over 50 students between kindergarten and fifth grade have been checking out books from my book cart. I love watching them get excited about reading, in any language, and knowing that they're bringing books into their homes in order to share the joy of reading with their families.
Because we instruct only in English at our school, our limited funding can only be used to purchase books in English.
In order to ensure that students can enjoy reading stories at home, we need to offer materials in more than just one language and we need your support in order to keep this program going. Please think about donating to us to make sure my kiddos can keep reading at home. Thanks!
