Students have used these books to create reader's theatre performances, allowing them to act out characters, build fluency, and deepen comprehension. Watching them collaborate, practice, and proudly perform has shown just how powerful access to the right books can be.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, my students now have more opportunities to strengthen vocabulary, comprehension, and biliteracy skills at their level. Most importantly, you have helped inspire a lifelong love of learning in two languages.
