My Project
I want to provide students with a variety of bilingual books for our school library.
Bilingual books help increase empathy, improve language skills, promote strong writing abilities, and boost literacy overall.
Over the past several years, our population of students whose native language is Spanish has increased, and it is important to have more print resources available.
This project will benefit all students by providing access to quality literature and promoting reading as a life-long pleasure. Bilingual books help increase empathy, improve language skills, promote strong writing abilities, and boost literacy overall.
There are so many benefits to bilingual reading: expanding your worldview, building critical thinking skills, and improving memory and concentration. In addition, knowing a second language may open doors in the future.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
