Greetings from urban Indiana where my class of active 11 and 12 year olds are nearly half English language learners. I encourage them daily to acquire new language skills in English.
These students need to be able to connect to their native language so that they don't forget HOW to read and write in Spanish. Both the school and classroom library are sprinkled with an array of bilingual and Spanish culture books aimed at the younger student.
My project needs a variety of bilingual books to encourage ESL students to continue to read in Spanish and share their culture with other classmates.
Your generosity will make it possible for my students to practice reading in Spanish and to teach classmates about cultures of their homelands. We will be ever so grateful to you!
More than half of 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
