In Pea Ridge, we encourage our English learners to continue developing literacy in their native language. During Hispanic Heritage Month, we want to bring attention to the resources and programs in our district that support literacy in English and other languages. Our Pea Ridge Primary School library features a collection of bilingual books with Spanish and English text that are available for your children to check out. Parents who speak Spanish can read these books at home with their children and help them make connections to their cultural heritage. Our students love taking these picture books home to read with their parents!
