You have been an inspiration to me since my 1st year as a teacher. I teach bilingual 2nd grade in Carrollton-Farmers Branch TX. I am interested in the last reader's workshop unit of study: Making plans for summer reading. I have noticed that my bilingual kids leave 2nd grade reading at a certain level but by the beginning of 3rd grade they have dropped at least 2 levels in both languagues English and Spanish. I know most of them don't read during summer for several reasons. Please let me know how you prepare your kids for summer reading.
