My Project
Middle school students in urban schools can benefit greatly from books that teach them new languages. Learning a new language can improve their cognitive abilities, enhance their communication skills, and broaden their cultural knowledge.
My students have been asking for books that teach them new languages.
I am hoping to provide them with books that explore a variety of languages that represent the families in our community. By reading books that teach new languages, students can build a strong foundation for language learning, improve their vocabulary, and develop a better understanding of grammar rules. Additionally, reading about different cultures and traditions can help students appreciate diversity and become more culturally sensitive.
By exposing themselves to books that teach new languages, middle school students in urban schools can open up new opportunities for themselves and develop important life skills.
More than half of students from low‑income households
