Empowering Success: English-Spanish Dictionaries for Our ELL Students

Funded Aug 23, 2024

Thank you for your generous support in providing English-Spanish dictionaries for our English Language Learners. These dictionaries have had a profound impact on our students' academic growth and confidence. In the classroom, the dictionaries have become an essential tool for building vocabulary and comprehension skills. With access to these resources, students are better able to understand the texts we read and apply new vocabulary in their writing and discussions. This has been particularly valuable as we prepare for state tests, where comprehension and word knowledge are critical. Students now approach challenging passages with greater independence, using their dictionaries to decode unfamiliar words and build stronger connections to the material.

The joy these dictionaries bring to our students is evident every day. They take pride in using them, flipping through the pages to find the right word. This enthusiasm has transformed the classroom reading environment; students are more engaged and confident in tackling assignments they once found daunting. With these tools, they are learning how to take ownership of their learning, bridging gaps between English and their native languages. Thank you for empowering our students with this opportunity to succeed. Your support is helping not only prepare for academic assessments but also build the skills needed to thrive beyond the classroom.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Borges
