My Project
Many of my ESL students face significant challenges in acquiring the English language, which can affect their academic performance and self-esteem. I would like to provide two translator scanner pens and a set of decodable chapter books explicitly tailored for ESL learners.
I am committed to the growth of my ESL students, and I believe that the combination of this innovative technology and engaging decodable books will truly empower my students to learn the English language.
By allowing them to access texts independently, we are opening the door to a world of knowledge that will help them build their vocabulary, enhance their comprehension, and foster a growing confidence in using English—not just in the classroom but in their everyday interactions and friendships.
With these resources, I can create a supportive and engaging learning environment that drives my students toward academic success and personal growth. My students work so hard every day they are in school because they and their families value education. They deserve every opportunity to succeed.
