My Project

My students are eager learners and readers. They want books that interest them and continue stories and characters that they already know. Some of the books in this list continue series that students love, and some of them are written in Dari.

My students who read Dari are learning English, but even the fluent English readers love to see books in their native language.

Students who are native English speakers will benefit from seeing books in other languages also! They will be able to see more about their friends' culture and language.
