Books are one of the most important resources in any classroom. For a bilingual classroom particularly, getting books into our students hands is crucial if we want to build their English vocabulary, speaking, reading and writing. Our school has many resources, however, the reading level of my students is well below grade level and they do not have adequate books to keep them engaged. We are beginning a unit in Realistic Fiction and realized that we do not have many books in that genre to help support our students through the unit. Bilingual Students face many challenges in general when coming to a new country. Between the adjustment to their new country, new home and new school, finding books that can help them grow should not be one of them!
