New Books for ESL Students

My students need 25 copies of "Seedfolks" by Paul Fleischman.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Strawbridge's classroom raised $195

This project is fully funded

I am an ESL teacher at a high school in New York. Our school has been cited as a school in need of improvement, but has been making strides to raise the bar.

My ESL students face a unique problem: the high school level books are too challenging, and the regular ESL books focus on vocabulary out of context, which does not assist language development.

I would like to order a classroom set of novels that my students will be able to access and that will help them to increase their reading comprehension skills.

Your assistance will help my ESL students to achieve the American dream and give them books that are age appropriate.
