On Tuesday night, January 5th, kids came to the Donald R. Wright Auditorium to do battle in Lucha Libros and answer questions about the book Ramona the Pest<\/a> by Beverly Cleary. \u00a0The questions are always in English and Spanish because\u00a0the books are, too! \u00a0Many kids come to us from the dual-language immersion programs at San Rafael Elementary and Jackson Elementary. \u00a0They take the Spanish books home to practice their Spanish reading comprehension and increase their Spanish vocabulary. \u00a0Other kids check out the book in Spanish so that a Spanish-speaking parent or caregiver can read it along with them. \u00a0And every month on the first Tuesday, they come to the library prepared to show the world how BOSS they are at remembering details from the text!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The reward: other than demonstrating great reading skills and memory skills, COOL PRIZES! \u00a0I buy a plethora of stuff from places like Oriental Trading, Dollar Tree and the 99-Cent Store, so that the kids have lots of fun things to choose from. \u00a0On Tuesday some of the most popular prizes were a paint-it-yourself ceramic bank and a toy ninja sword with a decorative sheath. \u00a0But another popular prize every month is a free book, and many kids select that,\u00a0furthering their reading.<\/p>\n

The kids are truly excelling at answering questions correctly. \u00a0Their scores overall are very high this year. \u00a0Way to go, luchadores<\/em>!<\/p>\n
