Their motivation to read and answer comprehension questions has skyrocketed in one day. They are excited to pull out their books and look for answers. Even my English language learners are more confident now. They're making a deeper connection between what they hear as I read the story to them and what they see as they go back and reread. Having the opportunity to access the content in multiple ways is so important for not only my bilingual students but all kids. I have already seen a great increase in student perseverance when they don't know the answer right away. Instead of feeling defeated and simply saying, \"I don't know\", my students now go back through the chapters we read as a group and look closer for answers. I cannot wait to dive deeper into their reading and explore themes and character analysis with my students.
