For world language students, daily reading in another language has recently been proven to be much more important than previously thought. I have a paltry library in French and Spanish (in particular!)
Titles such as "Martha's Crazy Life" and "The Class of Confessions," plus translations of classic stories such as "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," can make free voluntary reading time a relaxed, positive experience for teenage language learners. Last year, I used my small collection to encourage more independent reading, with very good results. I really hope to expand my classroom library this year for my 100+ high school students.
