The students in my classroom have already enjoyed the books that were purchased and sent to us. I teach a 1st grade two-dual language class of 17 students, in a low-income school in Eastern Washington. Reading for many of the students is difficult. Your donations went toward purchasing two sets of bilingual books that come in sets of 5. I have used them in my reading intervention groups which are set up according to the reading levels of my students. I appreciate that the books are in English and Spanish, because the students have to learn to read and right in both languages at the same level. I have found that students are benefitting from have both languages on the same page. I also teach students who come from English speaking homes, so they can verify the meaning of the Spanish vocabulary, at their fingertips. \r\n I also ordered books that I can add to my reading library. Every morning for 30 mins, the students have a reading engagement time, where they read to themselves, to a buddy or to me. Many have chosen the books that were donated and I have watched them enjoy the pictures and content. They are so appreciated by the students and me!
