As an English as a Second Language teacher, I strive to engage and support my students' growth in their English proficiency. Since all of my students are English Language Learners, it can be challenging to find high-interest books at their reading level. This has created a barrier for some of my students who are reading at a lower level but have no books they can relate to or that are relevant to their experiences or interests. Due to this, I am hoping to get funds for a small library in my room so my students can have texts that are at an appropriate level while holding their interest and fostering a love for reading and learning. Accessibility is essential for learning and growth. By having this library my students will have more access to texts at their level which will help in my instruction and in their classroom teachers instruction. With the information presented in a way they can understand, the language will seize to be a barrier to content knowledge and understanding. Thank you so much for your consideration in supporting my project. I am excited to provide better texts and books to all my students to better their elementary experience.
