INSPIRE LANGUAGE LEARNERS

PROMOTE MULTICULTURALISM

Language Lizard offers bilingual books, multicultural books and dual language audio books for kids and English language learners (ELL) of all ages. We work closely with schools and libraries to provide the best books for preschool, kindergarten and elementary language learners. Secondary school and adult English as a Second Language (ESL) students also use our bilingual stories (such as those in our popular World Folktales and Fables collection) to improve their reading and listening skills. Parents of very young children enjoy the bilingual board books and simple bilingual stories to help teach a second language to babies and toddlers in a fun and engaging way. All of our books are dual-language picture books with English and the foreign language (second language) on the page. We also offer multilingual posters that help educators create a welcoming environment in diverse classrooms.

In addition, we offer unique interactive bilingual audio books and book sets that use the Mantra Lingua PENpal Audio Recorder Pen to turn regular bilingual books into audio books. This revolutionary "talking pen" supports reading, writing, speaking and listening for ELL students and foreign language learners. Oral language skills are further enhanced with recordable labels, which allow teachers to personalize instruction to meet the needs of their diverse student populations.
