Currently my 25 students, who are all bilingual, are just beginning to learn the fundamentals of reading. In addition, more than half of them are newcomers to this country. My class has very few books in Spanish and a vast amount of books in English.
It is important for all my students to see the importance of their native language represented in our classroom library. During center time, or independent reading , my Spanish only speakers do not have many books to choose from. The books that are provided are not on their reading level, or are old and beat up.
