ELL Students Love To Read Too

My students need 7 ELL books to give them something that will interest them in reading and 4 Whisperphones to assist them in practice reading.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

English Language learners should have books to read also. I teach at a low income school in the inner city. The majority of my students are Mexican American and English is their second language.

There are no books in my class for these students to enjoy. They watch the other students looking at books and being read to in English, but there are no Spanish books for my assistant to read to them. This is unfair to them. They love to be read too.

I need bilingual and Spanish books that my students can relate to. They need to see books in their language, books that can be read to them. My assistant is ready and willing to share the books with them, but we don't have any.

Please make it possible for my students to learn by having books that they can relate to and books that can be read to them in Spanish.
