Grow Reading Love in Spanish!

Help me give my students amazing books to increase reading engagement in their second language.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. da Silva's classroom raised $999

My Project

My second graders work so hard to develop their reading skills in Spanish! With English as their first language, it's amazing that they are able to read in Spanish! Unfortunately, it is much more difficult to find engaging titles in Spanish that kids are excited to read and that pair nicely with the skills and curriculum that I teach.

With these book titles, I hope to provide a wide variety of text level and interest that my kids will be excited about reading and sharing with each other.

When students have books that are engaging, it is so much more fun to learn about and practice all the different aspects of reading.

Currently, my classroom library has many outdated titles that do not grab the attention of students today. My hope is that these titles will update my library and motivate my students to read voraciously!
