Más y más libros en español

 ¡ Libros, libros y MÁS libros!

On my first post about books, I shared lots of links to access read aloud stories. Check it out HERE. Then I shared with you how much I am loving Hoopla to access even MORE books using my public library card. Click HERE to read that post. 

Today, I wanted to share my newest "trick" to add more Spanish books to my personal connection.  I asked my kids' grandparents to skip the candy this year and just send me some $ to order books. This particular order is set to be delivered before Halloween so it is PERFECT! This way, my kiddos get new books AND I get new material for my students. 

I am not affiliated with Scholastic, but this month they have some great deals on packs of Spanish books. Even if you miss these deals, I wanted to share the titles that I found in case you like them too!



I hope these help you grow your library!

Read aloud Spanish books

Where do you find Spanish books for your kids and students?

I hate buying a ton of books because my own children just read too many! So I want to share something I have been doing.

Hoopla is a free app and website that links to your library card. On the search bar I simply put SPANISH and then usually it suggest Spanish Children. When I click there I get a GIANT list of options.
https://www.hoopladigital.com/. You can click on the ❤️ and create a list of favorites that you can borrow as you go. 

So, how do I know what books are appropriate for each of my kids and students?
If your school works with AR levels, then the Renaissance website will become your BFF!!!! I just search the title, and BOOM! I know the level!
I click on Parent, and then I am able to search for pretty much everything! Depending on my student's proficiency levels, I also challenge them to take the AR comprehension tests in Spanish.






I hope this is helpful to you, your own children and students. I know having the app be free allows you to share titles for the parents to pick from and use during virtual learning.

**I am not affiliated to either one, just sharing what has worked for me, my children and my students during this difficult time adjusting to virtual learning. **
