Bilingual Books for English Learners

Help me give my students books in English and Spanish to improve their language skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Berlin-Stephens's classroom raised $972

My Project

The students I work with speak a variety of languages at home and many of them are immigrants to the US. They are learning English and are all at varying levels. We have one student this year that just moved and is brand new to the country and the English language.

I want to encourage these students to read at home to build fluency in English and in their native language.

Having high interest books at their level (in both English and Spanish) will help these students reach their language goals.
