Bilingual school Reading plan proposal

Abstract

Nowadays, bilingualism has been implemented successfully in most Spanish schools. Parting from this, it is vital the presence of reading in the classrooms in both languages, whether in Spanish and English. The main objective of this final work is to awake students interests and pleasure of reading, to reach the objective of having competent readers. Reading habits are easier to obtain at a young age, and if our intention is that students achieve the positive habit of reading in a voluntary and autonomous way, it is necessary the existence of activities in the classroom that encourage the pleasure of reading. I based this final work in my experience of the Practicum II and taking as a model the bilingual school I did my internship at. I have developed a Reading Plan thought for this school, which will fit the new bilingual reality. I have taken under consideration all the factors concerned in youngsters education, such as the school, their own circle of relatives and their environment. Ultimately, through this reading plan proposal we are going to try to change reading into a practice that is useful as learning and ludic activity, encouraging the pleasure of reading as a formative activity
