GO! Welcome Newcomers

GO! Welcome Newcomers® was designed for immigrant tweens new to life in the United States. Developed around 14 key topics, this library includes paired fiction and nonfiction books by topic, teacher support, and Survival Vocabulary Cards. This collection gives recent immigrants relevant information as they learn to adapt academically and socially. Each book pair includes a nonfiction book covering a key skill and a fictional story that connects to the same skill in real life. This library places special emphasis on 140 topic-specific vocabulary words, as research indicates the importance of vocabulary acquisition for students learning English.
