Reading is the most important thing that students should engage in every day; but I need your help! Currently, my ENL students are learning to read while also trying to learn a new language. Many of their parents cannot read in English, but want to help them to develop the skills needed to be a good reader. By adding these leveled books to my parent lending library, it will help my students strengthen their early literacy skills. By sending home bilingual readers, parents have the ability to read and discuss these books with their children in their native language. As their children become proficient in reading the English language, they will help them to practice reading at home, while their parents can follow along in Spanish. They will improve upon sight word recognition, fluency, and comprehension. The books will give my students more opportunities to read and develop interests in various genres. They can even read with a friend or sibling and share what they have learned. Thank you for helping my students become lifelong readers.
