My Project
Our library is severely lacking in Spanish books, making it hard for those students who are studying Spanish to have materials for continued study. Our Spanish books also help support our ESL community with easy reading materials. We need enough materials that students can check out books to take home for leisure reading, but also utilize them in a classroom lesson environment.
This project will provide enough Spanish books for a whole class to do a book tasting and practice their basic Spanish in a real-world way.
Book tastings are a simple and easy way for students to be introduced to new material. They read a book for 5-10 minutes and then switch seats and tables to find a new book to read. These simple Spanish books will allow us to do book tastings with the Spanish classes to help them practice their vocabulary. They utilize what they have learned in class and see it applied in a real-world setting.
These books will also help supplement the ESL students who would like to practice their reading. Not all of these students read at a high level of Spanish, and many need lower-level books to start with. It also helps them start the process of translating easy Spanish into simple English.
