The International Children’s Digital Library provides digital representations of story books translated in a myriad of languages. It is a wonderful resource for teachers who are looking to represent diversity and promote early literacy. There are books for young children ages 3-5 up to middle school aged children. The website is easy to navigate and teachers and parents can search for books based on topic (make believe, true books, etc) and reading level. This resource can easily be used in the classroom and would provide a new way to introduce books (via projector or on the computer). I would definitely recommend this resource as it a novel way for introducing and promoting early literacy in the classroom.
Their mission statement:
"The mission of the International Children’s Digital Library Foundation is to excite and inspire the world's children to become members of the global community – children who understand the value of tolerance and respect for diverse cultures, languages and ideas -- by making the best in children's literature available online."
