Why We Created This Curriculum
Too many Haitian children struggle to learn how to read—not because they lack potential, but because the tools don’t speak their language. We created this Haitian Creole curriculum to meet students where they are, in the language they know best.
​
At New Roots, we believe education is more than memorizing facts—it’s about building confidence, sparking joy, and creating meaningful connections. This curriculum is designed to help children thrive in their first language, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning, dignity, and opportunity.
Why Learning in Their Native Language Matters
Research shows that children learn best when they begin reading in their mother tongue. Starting with Creole helps students:
​
-
Build reading fluency faster
-
Understand what they’re reading more deeply
-
Feel seen, capable, and confident
-
Strengthen their cultural identity
-
Transition more successfully to additional languages later
When students are taught in a language they understand, the results are transformative—academically, emotionally, and spiritually.
