New Nonfiction For ENL Student Learning

Help me give my students the nonfiction books they need to be successful in reading and writing nonfiction!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ellis's classroom raised $565

This project is fully funded

My Project

Nonfiction books are always something needed in all of our classrooms, but this is especially true for my classroom where I am teaching English Language Learners to read, write, speak and listen in English, while also trying to support their work in the classroom.

These nonfiction book titles will be used to support my English Language Learners with their reading, writing, and science with books that they can read at their level.

These books have been specifically chosen to match the learning that is happening in the classroom for my 2 - 5 grade students. With these materials they will be able to successfully participate in the learning happening with their peers in the classroom.
