My students are all inner city and are all on free and reduced lunch. They are all English learners and so eager to read! Our school supports us with what they can, but it is not enough. We are located in Chicago in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. The families of these students are supportive in their educational needs, they just lack the economic resources and English language needed to help boost their children's literary skills!
