These same parents often worry if they can't speak English, then their child won't be successful at school. While it is important for them to support their child's effort to learn English, research shows encouraging literacy in the child's native language helps him/her to become a better reader in English. In addition, children who are able to learn English, while maintaining their native language, actually have higher academic achievement in later years compared with their English only peers. Your donations will go towards filling "A Free Little Library" of books that representative of the many languages and cultures at our elementary school. This library will be located outside in our school courtyard, so students and their families can visit any day, any time. Some of the bilingual books for our littlest learners to develop pre-literacy skills include: The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, and Farmer Duck. Books that can help students who are beginning readers in their native language include books from the Arabic Club Readers Series like What Did the Lion Eat? and The Friends' Picnic. The library will also contain books written in English but are filled with the diverse characters and information that our students and families can relate to on a personal and social level. Some of the titles include: The Golden Sandal: A Middle Eastern Cinderella Story, The Genius of Islam: How Muslims Made the Modern World, and The Flag of Childhood Poems from the Middle East.
