My Project
I am trying to expand my ELL classroom library. I want to enhance the literacy experiences of my diverse student population by providing access to a wide range of engaging and culturally relevant books. Enhancing our library collection can foster a love of reading, improve language acquisition, and support academic achievement.
This variety of books will cater to the specific needs and interests of my ELL students.
These books will include culturally diverse stories and age-appropriate fiction titles. Additionally, I have invested in digital resources, such as e-books and audiobooks, to provide flexible learning opportunities for my students. By expanding the classroom library, I can create an inclusive learning environment that empowers my ELL students to reach their full potential.
More than half of students from low‑income households
