English is a complex language to learn as a second language learner. Some students may read and write in their native language, while others will enter the classroom with little or no prior literacy instruction. When English language learners are given bilingual books, they have opportunities to absorb literature in both languages. When English language learners see their home language written with the second language, they will identify both languages as equally important.
