Rationale
When I was nine years old, I moved to the United States from Colombia. I did not speak any English. I remember I entered the third grade two months before the school year ended. I knew how to read in Spanish, but English took sometime to learn. I remember going to the library in Spalding Drive Elementary and browsing through many books. The Amelia Bedelia books caught my attention and they were a part of me learning to read in English. I chose to do my Author study on Peggy Parish and Herman Parish because their books were a big part of my childhood and I still remember them till this day. Amelia Bedelia books are really engaging and funny. I love them now because they can make teaching really fun.
