Building Bilingual Literacy-Spanish Books Edition

Help me give my students a larger and more expansive collection of Spanish language books.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Barron's classroom raised $754

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our current library collection offers almost 60 Spanish-language literature titles for our native and heritage Spanish speaking and our bilingual students. With the recent addition of a Spanish language elective class, I want to be able to provide a wider range of books in both fiction and nonfiction, as well as illustrated graphic novels and expand the selection for both our emerging Spanish readers and our native and heritage Spanish speaking students.

With this project, I can almost double the size of our Spanish-language titles this year and give our students an enormous variety of options!

As our Spanish reading community grows, it's important that the range of titles offers something for everyone-from simple text and illustrations for our beginning Spanish readers, to more advanced chapter books and nonfiction titles for our advanced Spanish readers curious about important people and historical events that shape our world. This project includes some all-time classic children's literature titles, current popular favorites, beautifully illustrated graphic novels, and a few librarian-curated surprises, too!

In addition to expanding our library collection for all our Spanish readers, these new books will also be integral to a future collaboration project with our Spanish language class where the students will personally select one of our Spanish-language titles for a book report project, demonstrating the year's growth as they become bilingual in both Spanish and their home language.
