Area of Concern

Needs Assessment

The area of concern

was the need to
reach out to our
bilingual parents in
order to help them
read to their children
by teaching them
strategies as well as
having them bond
with their children
when reading.

The project was

selected because it
was a pilot project
that came to our
district and I chose to
implement it on our
campus in order to
involve our bilingual
parents and help
them feel they are
important in their
childrens first years
of academics.
