Reading Without Barriers! / ¡Leyendo Sin Barreras!
Help me give my students the gift of reading in their native language and not to lose the love for books!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. PILLPE's classroom raised $606

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
My students love reading! They are a group of newcomers who have been in the country for less than a year - some have been here a couple of months! They are very eager to learn English and try their best every day.
Our school has a block for independent reading and my newcomers are willing to read, but they have just begun learning English; however, they are literate in Spanish!
The only challenge is that my school doesn't have enough books in Spanish to keep fostering their love for reading. I could only gather a very few books from my personal library and I don't want this to be a barrier to their learning journey.
Having access to more books written in their native language will keep them engaged and connected to their culture and heritage. As their language acquisition grows, they won't lose the habit of reading and, eventually, they will enjoy it in the language they prefer.
Thank you for supporting our English learners! ¡Gracias!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
