Earlier in January we traveled to South America to explore the libraries there. Did you know that libraries travel by donkey in Colombian villages? Neither did our students. We talked about how dedicated this real life librarian, Luis Soriano Bohorquez, was to bring books to the students. Watch the clip below and see how different things are for the students in this village.
This book also gave us the opportunity to explore different reading strategies. For example, students can sound out a word, look at the pictures for clues, chunk up a word or look for context clues. Some of the words in this book were in spanish, it was impressive to watch our students use all of these strategies to decode the words.
