Show FiltersDiarou’s Not So Different
“Diarou is starting her first week in a new school, in a new country, speaking a new language… and she feels completely alone. She moved to the U.S. from Guinea over the summer and is determined to make friends, but with her limited English, she’s having trouble communicating with her classmates. Just when she thinks she might be on her own, she meets another new student who’s struggling too. Can Diarou find a way to connect across language barriers to make a true friend? The authors of this story are part of an innovative program run by Reach Incorporated. Reach develops grade-level readers and capable leaders by preparing teens to serve as tutors and role models for younger students, resulting in improved literacy outcomes for both.
