Imagine moving to a new country. You walk into a classroom and you may not of ever had any formal education before. You have never read or written and you have this smiling teacher talking to you in a language you don't understand. These are the children I teach every day. I work in a school with a very high immigrant population in New York City. These student are from low income families. At home they have no books to practice reading. Many of my students have very limited schooling in their own language and are now thrust into a formal school setting. We move from learning letters to reading very quickly. We help students learn English while holding on and becoming literate in their own language as well. My students have come from all around the world from many different and often difficult situations. They hold the American Dream, but need the tools to make them successful. My students need to have many opportunities to read books from various genres. They will then see themselves as true readers. We will use these books and magazines to aid us in the process of becoming life long readers. Students who are confident readers will be ready to face the challenges of higher education and the work place.
