Comprehensible Input Library for Middle School Spanish Learners – District Pilot

Comprehensible Input Library for Middle School Spanish Learners – District Pilot

I would like to create a library of comprehensible books written for Spanish language learners so that all of my Spanish students will be able to select and read novels that interest them and are at their appropriate reading level.

 

The world language department has been using methods of comprehensible input (CI) in order for our students to be able to acquire language. One very effective CI method, which has yet to be implemented in this district, is to have students select and read comprehensible books that interest them from a CI library (Innovations in the Classroom). Research shows that this helps every student in the class to be successful, not just the top learners (Programs that promote Equity for all).

Applicant: Laura Brady

School: Oak Hill

Date Approved: Fall 2023

Amount: $600
