Our school serves a large population of English language learners whose home languages include Spanish, Arabic, Dari, Pashto, French, Swahili and Kinyarwanda, to name a few.
Research shows that reading in any language will support literacy in a new language and we want to provide our students with appropriate books to read in their home languages as we support their English literacy.
Our students often request books that we are unable to get from our vendors, this project will allow us to fill those gaps and offer all our students age and interest appropriate books in their languages.
My Project
When students have an opportunity to read in the library, to check out a book and take it home, read it after school or at lunch, they are not only exploring their interests and expanding their imaginations but also building literacy which will serve as a foundation for future learning.
Our students speak many languages other than English, and reading in any language will support literacy in a new language.
Therefore students are encouraged to read daily, and the school library is a resource and a support for both leveled English texts and texts in student's home languages.
We want to provide our kids with a large selection of age and interest appropriate books to read in order to support their literacy development. They have requested these books and by adding them to our library we will support them and many more students over time.
