In the age of technology, I prioritize a balance in my practice to "de-vice." I believe in the power and joy of having abundance choice and exposure to reading and that reading is not defined by print books alone. However, I have witnessed the positive impacts of books on students' skills and attitudes about reading. As such, curating libraries of printed texts, namely books, and redefining reading culture has become a growing passion of mine. Over the past five years, I have successfully utilized DonorsChoose and personal funding to bring countless highly desired and engaging multilingual texts to my students that include multiple windows and mirrors options. My goal is the rule of 30--that there be at least 30 books available for each student each year. My efforts have also provided me with an abundance of mentor text in both Spanish and English to utilize in my literacy teaching practices. Plus, some good problems have resulted such as students rebelling by reading during lessons or navigating social dynamics when taking turns reading this or that book. To highlight (top right pic), I delivered personalized libraries in a box to each of my reading students during distance learning. Each box contained 6-7 books that were requested and selected based on their surveyed input. This was a way for them to de-vice and engage in print reading, and it provided text sources for reading skills practice in class. Below are a few examples of unplugged presentations and tools that I have created for improving multilingual literacy skills, including cultural competency.
