Dual-ifying Reading

Funded Feb 2, 2012

Words cannot express my sincere gratitude for your generous

donation that enabled me to purchase high-quality books in English and Spanish

for my students. These reading resources,

from Third Grade Detectives to Judy Moody, have made a great

educational impact. The students now

have access to books that inspire and motivate them to read in two languages. Their passion for reading is growing as they

unlock the magic of books and it is truly incredible to see. In the words of Maya Angelou, "Any book that helps a child to form a

habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good

for him." Thank you for making it possible.

These books have served as a springboard for teaching effective

lessons that foster the students' development of high academic proficiency in two languages. The learning opportunities that these books

present are exciting and fun. Your

donation and belief in public education has supported me in preparing the

students to be productive multilingual citizens of the future.

Again, thank you so much for your generous

contribution. You have made a difference

in the lives of my students.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Bedolla
