When I started teaching a year ago, I knew that I wanted to have a Spanish class library for my students. As an English Language Learner, I know how much pleasure reading in the target language has personally helped me to build my proficiency and I want to give my students that same opportunity. I believe that we should provide access to different genres of books in our classes with the same differentiated approach that we bring to any other lesson. My students have shown great interest in reading Spanish novels, but unfortunately they only have access to three books/stories in Spanish. They have, in many occasions, asked is we could read more books. I’m sure that some additional book options will help them grow even more as language learners. I know that some students enjoy reading fiction and non-fiction books, but some others are very interested in reading about Hispanic culture, traditions, and celebrations. Therefore, I’ve kept my students in mind when choosing a variety of stories that I know will impact their lives. All these TPRS books can fit into any curriculum that values reading. Students will enjoy reading and learning about the characters from each story. I'm certain that my students will also improve and expand their Spanish vocabulary. Additionally, students will low-level reading skills and heritage-speaking students of Spanish will be benefited from this wide variety of stories. The reason is that most of these books are very simple books and their content is designed for adolescents. I’m a firm believer that students will read when given the choices. If given more choices, students will enjoy learning even more. In addition to this, they will appreciate and understand the importance of literacy when learning a foreign language.
