Chinese Language Books Bring Students Together
Chinese Language Books Bring Students Together
Last spring, a PSF grant funded new library books to support Chinese language learning at Glenwood Elementary, expanding the school’s library collection.
The new books gave students in Glenwood’s Chinese dual-language program more opportunities to read, practice their Chinese language skills and discover stories they could enjoy and share. By adding engaging, age-appropriate books to the school library, the grant strengthened students’ access to meaningful reading experiences in the language they are learning.
A moment of joy came when fifth graders read the newly purchased books aloud to first graders. Older students practiced reading with fluency and expression, while younger students listened, followed along and discovered new stories. The experience showed the power of books to connect students across grade levels while giving older students the opportunity to become more confident readers and role models.
