Help me give my students books in their home languages to read at school or at home with their families.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sousa's classroom raised $430
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
This project will help multilingual learners further develop their literacy skills in their first language and in English. Students feel joy, connection, belonging, and engagement when they can borrow their favorite books in their home languages. They love reading with their parents and keep learning in their native languages. These books also allow students who are literate in their native language and starting to learn English to keep reading grade level books in a language they know while working on learning English. By reading their favorite stories in both languages, students will make connections and develop their literacy skills and academic thinking in both languages.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
