Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
As an English Language Arts teacher, my students are encouraged to engage in independent reading during the whole year. To get the students excited about reading I make sure to have plenty of books in Spanish, graphic novels to appeal to my visual learners, and current best-selling YA books.
This project's goal is to help increase my inner city/multilingual students' engagement in independent reading. The students will be reading 15 minutes a day and having a wide selection will encourage them to participate throughout the whole year. Students engage better when they have more options and they can see different structures of literature.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
