My Project

Help newcomers, refugees, and immigrants from Ukraine and various Spanish speaking countries feel welcome and supported in their reading development. My goal is to fill my classroom library with books in Ukrainian and Spanish to support the literacy development of my ELL students. These students need to continue reading books in their native languages to support their reading comprehension and vocabulary development. Research proves that continued development in a student's native language will drastically improve their English comprehension because literacy is a transferable skill from one language to another. These books also have characters and authors with similar backgrounds to the students to make reading relatable to their lives. Please help me support the learning of these incredible students by filling my library!
