In addition to English, the students in our school speak more than 10 other languages and represent many cultures. Nearly 84% of our students are designated as high needs. Our multilingual library supports their home language development which research proves will bolster their English language development as well.
This library shows our students that their home language skills are welcome and valued in our school; it helps them to feel proud of their home languages and cultures.
Access to books in their home languages helps students who are new to the country feel more comfortable in our school. Bilingual books provide a bridge between students' home languages and English. Colorful bilingual picture dictionaries allow students to build important vocabulary skills. Engaging fiction and nonfiction texts help foster a love of reading and learning in all our students. Having books in every student's home language like the ones requested allows our students to share the many assets they bring to our school with all of their teachers and classmates.
We began building this library at the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year. Our students have been so excited to see books in their home languages! We need to continue to expand the selections available to ensure that all of our students have access to books at their interest and reading levels. Please help us to continue to build this enthusiasm, pride in our diversity, and love of reading in every language. Thank you!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
