What kind of reading material do my students read during FVR? Check out some of the reading choices available to my upper elementary and middle school students below. I rotate a large number of books that I check out from the Chicago Public Library based on student interests and requests. Before we start for the year, I give an explicit lesson on choosing reading material that is a good fit, meaning they can comprehend a large majority of what's being read. After the children read, we end each FVR session with a brief interpersonal activity in Spanish in which the students:
-Greet each other
-share what they read
-give a brief review/opinion of the material
-Sometimes they share what their favorite book is and why, too
(A sample of our class CI novels)
("Brain Quest" like game from Spain)
