Original Post Does anyone have a good source for Spanish Language Fiction Books. I have tried to check with Follett, but to no avail. What about titles that are popular among your ELL students. Responses: I just outfitted a library with 3000+ books in Spanish from Follett, so I didn't have a problem with them at all. As for titles - the Pura Belfre Awards are must-haves, and you can also check the Reforma website: www.reforma.org <http://www.reforma.org> . I've found that my ELL kids (we are 85% ELL) in the upper grades mostly want to read lower-level English books OR Spanish translations of the popular English books - Captain Underpants, Junie B., etc. They also seem to LOVE graphic novels in either language. Amazon has a good selection: http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_4914892_5?ie=UTF8&node=301731&pf_rd _m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=left-1&pf_rd_r=0ACGRS4MTZKTS55AGSES&pf_rd_t=200 1&pf_rd_p=292508001&pf_rd_i=international Have you tried setting the searching parameters to include Spanish language and the grade level you are interested in? We have purchased a good number of Spanish language fiction books from Perma-Bound books as well, and Santillana-USA is an excellent source. Now they even provide processing. Try Lectorum, owned by Scholastic. I came from a 95% bilingual school with a large collection of Spanish language materials. A lot of my books came from Lectorum: http://www.lectorum.com/ You can also look at Children's Press, Bound to Stay Bound books, Permabound, Santillana, & Heinemann (great non-fiction series).
