My Project

My Spanish students love to read books that are made for learners just like them. The books I am requesting are written for students learning Spanish. They are on topics like sports, celebrities, music, cooking, relationships, social media, culture, and so much more.

As they read, they acquire new vocabulary and structures which help them become better speakers and writers in Spanish.

The settings of the books are here in the USA and in Spanish-speaking countries which gives them a fresh view into what life is like abroad for teens just like them.

Research shows that reading is the best tool we have for becoming fluent in any language. I cannot express how wonderful and powerful reading is in and how much my students enjoy it. Thank you for your support!
