ELLs Reading Dreams

Help me give my students quality bilingual books to develop their English skills!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Saunders's classroom raised $376

This project is fully funded

My Project

These materials will give my ELL students a huge amount of support in their reading and vocabulary growth to be even more successful this school year!

My ELL students are not only learning content in their classrooms, but are also learning the English language at the same time.

During the school year they are learning ELA and math concepts while mastering their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in their ESL classes with me. These collections of bilingual books will allow them to integrate literacy, phonics, grammar, reading comprehension, and vocabulary acquisition skills in all lessons that we learn together!

My ELL students go through so much in their personal lives and still stay positive and do the work. This will add so much to the application of English skills that we learn in the classroom!
