With these books, students will be able to explore a variety of genres and subject matter appropriate to their English language abilities, reading comprehension skills, cultural backgrounds, and interests.
Motivating students to overcome challenges and develop fluency in a second language can be difficult; these texts will expose students to subjects they are interested in, build on their prior knowledge and experiences, and allow them to see their own cultures and nationalities represented in literature. For instance, by reading Gary Soto or Pat Mora, Latino students can connect with characters in a way they may not be able to with traditional English curriculum. Moreover, students can check books out from the classroom library to read in their free time after school or on weekends.
Ultimately, a shared library reinforces the solidarity of the classroom learning community as well as the culture of respect that students have been working hard to contribute to. Texts in this library would range from bilingual dictionaries in several languages to classic picture books to popular young adult novels.
