It is fantastic to have enough books available for all the students to have a choice of reading material!\r\n\r\nYour gift of bilingual and Spanish books have been used for a low-risk yet challenging weekly reading time. Students begin the class period with 10-15 minutes of quiet, continuous reading, then fill out a reading log noting the book/s they chose, new words they learned and a summary of what they understood it to be about. The students love this time of quiet beginning and most like the challenge of trying to see how much they can understand. \r\n\r\nI love to see students enjoying a story they remember from early childhood, or an interesting new fact or word they learned while they read. A few students read about the phenomenon of \"lluvia de peces\" (raining fish) in Honduras...of course we looked it up! \r\n\r\nThrough reading these books, students are getting important language input and adding to their language learning and confidence in their own abilities. On top of that, they are gaining interest in and curiosity for different places, cultures and topics presented in the books they read, making connections within lessons along the way. Once we have shelves, books will be organized by level so I can better direct students to appropriate books. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for opening up so many possibilities for these students and for this teacher!
