To help my students learn and to ENJOY learning amid the pandemic, I could use a new bookshelf and numerous Spanish texts of differing types, topics, and reading levels to create a larger Spanish Free Choice Library. My classroom currently has such a library but is limited only to the titles I have been able to purchase myself. This project would make our weekly Free Choice Reading time more engaging by offering students a greater selection of what they read during that time. A key component to effective foreign language instruction is providing students with many opportunities to see new words in a variety of contexts. An expanded Spanish Free Choice Library would do exactly this and would give students a choice in what their Spanish learning looks like. I have included a number of different types of Spanish texts, including children's books, fluency-based novels, and full, ¨typical¨ novels that have been translated or originally written in Spanish. I include the children's books for three reasons. They are less intimidating for some students than a full novel, they provide lots of clear pictures to promote comprehension, and they are closer to my beginner Spanish students' current Spanish reading level. The fluency-based novels are stories that are more age appropriate but are written specifically tailored to the language capacities and needs that Spanish I, II, and III learners have. Many of them also include cultural elements to broaden students' understanding of the Spanish-speaking world. The ¨typical¨ novels are for my Heritage Speakers, students who speak Spanish at home but come to my class to learn to read and write. This collection of books would allow students to differentiate their own instruction based on their specific needs and interests.
