"I want to improve my English, miss, but the book is too hard!" This is something that I often hear from students.
We know that time spent reading translates into improved reading and writing abilities, but because English is a second language for the students at our school, the challenging texts used in class can be discouraging. Furthermore, figuring out how words should be pronounced is impossible without a frame of reference.
In the library, we are trying to support student learning by providing additional resources and opportunities. Book Club is a way for a variety of students to engage with reading in a fun, non-academic setting. The audio players allow us to provide audiobooks, which has been shown to engage struggling and reluctant readers. We believe that new tools and camaraderie, we can increase readership and improvement in English skills.
