soy lector in partnerships with schools and community service organizations aims to close the achievement gap among hispanic and somali minority students by using multilingualism as an asset. we engage parents in literacy in their primary language, with a language-focused early literacy curriculum, and we teach parents to teach their children how to read and write in their primary/home language, knowing that students can learn two languages simultaneously. knowing that spanish and somali are easier languages to learn to read in due to the simplicity of their foundation in phonics, decoding, syllabication and grammar rules and the knowledge that once students learn to read and write in their primary/home language, they are able to transfer those skills to english, our mission and vision are as follows: mission: through bi-literacy we will increase the individual academic performance level of each student and close the overall achievement gap for minority students. for our parents
