Fostering the HOME/SCHOOL CONNECTION is essential to students' success. Incorporating families in the learning process not only promotes literacy, but also strengthens the learning community.

This BILINGUAL TEXT  LIBRARY was designed to enable the student and parent to share in the experience a child encounters through literature. The books offer text in both English and Spanish. Students can take books home for their parent to read to them or for them to read to their parents.

The Bilingual Text Libraries contain books which:

• will capture your students' interests
• are relevant to your students' experiences
• are written in English and Spanish
• are beautifully illustrated
• are accompanied by a class pack of take home letters in English and Spanish which provide helpful hints to parents for reading with their children.

We know that these libraries will encourage parental involvement and help to create lifelong learners.
