About the Project

Free Choice Reading in 4 Languages aims to bring diverse libraries to our 20 French, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, and heritage Spanish classrooms across 6 schools in our district. Our team is a cross-district group of World Language teachers who collaborate regularly to share strategies and reflect on practice. We are united by our passion to bring this opportunity to our students. Free choice reading allows students to explore their interests while deepening their language proficiency. Leveled readers also bring the voices of others, straight from other cultures, into our classrooms through a variety of characters and diverse perspectives. Through comprehensible and engaging reading, students can see themselves and others through literature that is written just for them. This will provide choice, representation, and individualized challenge for every student!
