Our Story
As elementary school students, we both had to immigrate from a foreign country not knowing a single word of English. Although our elementary school did a great job in teaching us how to speak English, we had to go out of our way to learn how to read as well. As we got older, and went to a very selective high school, we figured that we were not trained enough and weren't given the confidence we needed to speak up. That is when we came to final realization, that books weren't really emphasized in our lives as little kids. If all ELL students incorporate reading into their lives at an early age, they will have the capacity to achieve many things in life and gain their confidence through books.
