Empowering Books for Multilinguals
Multilingual literacy is not simply about the ability to read and write in various languages. For our multilingual children, it's above all about connection with their roots, identity, and independence.
The Mission of The Library 4 Multilinguals is to make ​this multi-literacy journey an empowering and exciting one - one that will help them explore their multilingual and multicultural identity.
Making the Multi-literacy journey an exciting and empowering one.
NOTE: Get the book in the version of the community / school language. Your child can then personalise it with their home language and culture.
