Picture Books for ESL Students

Help me give my students engagement with literary skills with educational picture books.

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach ELA skills to 6th-grade reading classes and 7th and 8th grade ESL classes. My middle school students are diverse, creative, and care about their education in spite of the adversity they face as economically disadvantaged and English Language Learners.

My Project

Student engagement increases with the use of picture books because they are visual, interesting, and accessible to students of all reading levels. Picture books can be used by teachers to model a skill, allow students to read and discuss in groups, or practice literacy skills independently. Students practice listening, fluency, and tracking story elements across the book. Although a love of reading is not a state standard, it is this teacher's goal to increase reading through high-interest stories and increase reading skills by providing engaging stories for my students.

These picture books will help students this year and beyond the Coronavirus Pandemic by meeting students where they are academically, providing engaging educational materials, and teaching students life lessons about how to be a good person.
