it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
With a bilingual picture dictionary on hand, every child has an accessible way to learn, grow, and feel seen. Bilingual picture dictionaries make such a powerful impact in the classroom by pairing words with images, helping students make clear connections between vocabulary and meaning in both languages. It’s like giving them two keys to unlock understanding. They also encourages verbal expression with visual cues and familiar words in their home language, students feel more confident attempting new phrases in English. This boosts speaking and listening skills during group work, partner activities, and everyday conversation.
Celebrating linguistic diversity by having bilingual resources shows students their language and culture are valued.
That affirmation can spark pride, motivation, and a sense of belonging—especially in a multilingual classroom. Using two languages side-by-side strengthens memory, pattern recognition, and comprehension. These early gains lay the groundwork for future academic success.
