Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

These bilingual books and easy readers for beginning English students and students new to the United States will impact their learning journey. These items offer accessible content that bridges language barriers and fosters comprehension for our diverse student body. With these resources, our learners will gain confidence in their language skills as they navigate through stories at their proficiency level, nurturing a love for reading while enhancing their language acquisition. My goal for this project is to empower our students with the linguistic foundation they need to thrive in their academic pursuits and beyond.
