Click the links below to access the reading of culturally diverse/bilingual books that are perfect for our ELL and other students in general. These book read alouds were recorded as a part of the Mentor Texts Series by April Jackson (more information below).

April Jackson completed a literacy profile through Georgetown last summer that stirred her interest in using Mentor Texts to teach reading standards during resource.  She has created a series of book reads to support both general education and resource needs at MES with the help of Heather Paulsen. This series includes a wide variety of books and strategies that teachers can use as a resource in their classrooms.
