My Students

The students attending our Dual Language program come from low-income families. The student population at our school is African-American, Hispanic, Caucasian, and Asian. They share their culture, language, background knowledge, learning, dreams, and the goal to become bilingual.

The Dual Language program goal is that its students become proficiency in both languages (English and Spanish) in the four domains: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

Most of the students in the Dual Language program take a bus to get school. It motivates me to continue finding way to make learning fun.

My Project

These leveled reading books will help emergent readers to love the stories while learning to read. Emergent readers will use the level A books to learn the first steps of reading. Then, the level B books will continue strengthening reading skills on readers. Also, the titles of these books will engage students in subject areas such as science, social studies, art, math, and language art.

The books will be used in small groups for guided reading, read aloud, share and independent reading.

The students will be happy to learn to read these books when they start the new school year!!!
