Reading and listening are essential keys to second language acquisition. “The second language student needs massive amounts of comprehensible, interesting reading material, enough so that he can read for pleasure and/or interest for an hour an evening, if he wants to, for several months.”—Stephen Krashen. This project would allow for each student to have access to eight different novels in a digital format. In Spanish A we would read two or three titles as a class and the students could use the other titles at their leisure to assist in their language learning. In Spanish B, we would read three or four titles (depending on time constraints) and the students would have the remaining titles to read at their leisure. This will be equitable for all students because it eliminates the possibility of losing a book and waiting for a replacement to arrive from school if one is available. This would be safe for students because there would be no sharing of materials and students could move seamlessly from in-class hybrid learning to virtual learning without the necessity of getting a book into their hands when and if the school closes.
