Offering Spanish-language and bilingual resources will help you meet the literacy goals of native Spanish speakers and instruct English and Spanish language learners.
Build a strong literacy foundation for Spanish speakers.

Educational researchers have consistently found what most educators know through experience: Parental involvement significantly influences students’ academic success. When native Spanish-speaking students learn in English, it can create a barrier for their parents to be involved in their education. Offering Spanish-language books to native Spanish speakers helps break that barrier, enabling parents who primarily speak Spanish to become more active in their children’s studies.
