Help me give my students the opportunity to enrich the Spanish language. My students are at varying levels in terms of literacy. Providing books for free-reading at varying levels is an amazing way to reach each of them.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I teach a Spanish class for native and heritage speakers of Spanish. Creating a classroom library will be huge for helping Spanish-speaking students strengthen their literacy skills in their first language which has now been pushed aside due to their high use of English. While Spanish was once their dominant language, it has been replaced with English and they are losing some of their bilingualism, especially when it comes to literacy. In our school district, Latino students take all their academic classes in English, except for my class. Many times students adapt to the English environment at our school, and therefore don’t practice their first language. By encouraging literacy in Spanish-speaking students, we will continue to nurture a large part of their identity. Many Latino Americans lament losing their Spanish abilities, but these books will help Latino youth strengthen and maintain their Spanish skills. Additionally, strengthening their literacy skills in their mother tongue sets them up for success with their English literacy as well because of skill transfer.
More than half of students from low‑income households
