Spanish Literature for ALL Classrooms
Student Well-Being
Multilingual learners engage in the literary world of their peer with transadaptations of beloved English titles. By accessing the books their English dominant friends are reading, students develop a sense of belonging in their classroom environment.
Teach in English or Spanish
The instructional materials in the collection are 100% bilingual. Teachers and school leaders with limited Spanish proficiency can rely on English instructions to guide students through Spanish books. Educators proficient in Spanish can use the Spanish-language teaching supports.
Build Bilingual Literacy Skills
Expose children to new perspectives, Spanish language structures, and vocabulary. Immersive texts encourage students to express their thoughts in new ways and make cross-linguistic connections that strengthen literacy skills in English and Spanish.
Spanish is by far the most common home language among English learners, accounting for roughly 75% of them.
