Class discussions are richer, students are more confident sharing ideas, and even reluctant readers are more engaged because they feel included and prepared.\r\n\r\nThese books have helped students build reading stamina, strengthen comprehension skills, and deepen their ability to think critically about what they read. Most importantly, they are helping students see themselves as readers.

I love that they are now the expert and get to share things with their friends and I don't have to have all the answers.\r\n I have a lot of boys who are in to a variety of sports so the books I got on their favorite players have been passed around. Messi has been the most loved book and they all find different facts to share when they read it.

In a Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program, these books are essential for helping students build vocabulary, improve reading comprehension, and grow as confident bilingual readers. The new texts introduce key literacy skills such as fluency, decoding, and understanding fiction and nonfiction in Spanish. Reading in our classroom has become more engaging and meaningful. During literacy time, students independently choose books that interest them and match their reading levels. Students are now excited to explore stories, recognize familiar words, and share what they are learning with their peers. These books help students feel proud of their progress and motivated to keep reading.\r\n\r\nIn addition to reading, the Spanish writing workbooks support grammar and sentence development, while hands-on tools like Pop-Its make math lessons more interactive and accessible.

We now use these resources daily during small-group instruction, guided reading, and independent practice. The leveled texts and language-support tools allow me to meet students where they are and give them the extra scaffolding they need to succeed.\r\n\r\nOne of the most meaningful moments came during a recent reading lesson when a student who had previously struggled to read aloud volunteered to share a page with the class.

Moments like this remind me how powerful the right resources can be for building both skills and self-esteem.\r\n\r\nNext, we will continue strengthening comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency through targeted small-group instruction and literacy centers. Students will use these resources to practice reading strategies, discuss texts, and build their confidence as readers and language learners.
