Dear parents & families,
English language learners (ELLs) benefit just as much from their parents' involvement in their education as other students.
All parents can be helpful in their children's academic success, regardless of their language, education, or literacy ability. Parents who speak little or no English can add to their children's education in valuable ways. ELLs benefit when they develop strong literacy skills in their first language before learning to read in a second one. Through Spanish, they are developing key language, reading and writing skills that may enable them to become excellent readers in English.
Encourage your child to be proud of your heritage. Find ways for them to use their knowledge of this in their classroom. Inspire them to read and write in your home language as well as in English. It is a wonderful skill to be bilingual! Amazon.com is a great online source to find books in different languages.
If you need any resources or tips on helping your child learn English don't hesitate to ask.
