Betty's Books
Empowering Israeli children to read English, one story at a time.
Betty Bloomberg z"l was Gaila's aunt. A staunch Zionist and supporter of A.H.A.V.A., she deeply loved reading and the children of Israel.
To master a new language, children simply need to read. However, Israeli children often have very little access to emergent readers appropriate for a second language learner. This is precisely why we created "Betty's Books"!
Betty's Books is a curated library of free, downloadable, and printable books. We have scoured the internet for appropriate materials and created our own original books specifically tailored to ESL (English as a Second Language) beginning readers.
