Imagine: You move to a country. You do not know the language nor the culture. At school, you are given young children's books, BABY books, to read because they are the only texts available at your comprehension level. How discouraging and embarrassing would that be for you? No baby books for English Language Learners! Like any struggling reader, an English Language Learner needs high interest texts written at lower reading levels to encourage reading fluency and growth. My students thirst for books written at and above their current reading comprehension levels to facilitate reading comprehension and achievement. They long for fun ways to practice their emerging language skills. Reading skills impact all aspects of life. Improving this skill increases student engagement and the ability to access the American dream. Let's help these young men and women achieve success!
