It is a collection of free dual language books available through any web browser that features multilingual text and narration.
Students need access to reading materials, and especially more if they have a home language that differs from their classroom language. They need to read in their home language to maintain and develop language and story sense while also keeping their cultural identity. This website has numerous books with real photos so that different age levels can engage in reading at school or at home.
This project was initiated to address equity and access of books and story around the world. Check out the BOOK DESERT global map. It examines the estimated percentage of homes with more than 100 books in the world grouped by 3-layers and the country.

Thank you so much for sharing this!!! I am a new EAL teacher and have been eager to find some dual-language reading resources. I can’t wait to use this with my students.
