Students at our school learn so much more than the 3Rs. As an international school, students spend half the day in a Spanish or Mandarin language immersion classroom and half in English Language Arts. Add to that the cultural and economic diversity of our families and you've got the recipe for a great education of what makes our multicultural society a magnet for people from around the world.
#DiverseStudents like ours need #DiverseBooks at a beginning reading level to help them learn to read welcoming books reflecting their lives and those of our school community.
As an international school, our library strives to introduce new resources into lives of students that reflect their home cultures and experiences, bridging their families' home culture and dreams for success in America. Having a strong school library collection, especially for our students developing their independent reading skills, helps open a world of learning. Thanks.
My Project
Building a strong and diverse collection of early readers helps newly independent readers discover the power of reading through books that reflect their own lives and those in the communities in which they live.
#WeNeedDiverseBooks has sparked authors to create a wave of new books that reach all students, including early readers.
By focusing our literacy project on beginning readers, your support with provide a library that is both diverse and inclusive of our multicultural student population. Teaching students the power of libraries also sends books home a message to parents, many of whom are second language learners themselves, that our library is for everyone.
