Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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.

Hello! The children in my school represent many different countries, languages and backgrounds. Many of our children are English Language Learners. They struggle to understand English, both spoken and written. I am a third grade teacher who deals with this struggle in reading everyday. Sometimes the struggle involves language, sometimes it involves simply sparking interest in reading. I have found that series books help with both struggles. Series books help English Language Learners by giving them more opportunities to get to know a character. The different books about the same character also help them explore changes in setting, plot and character. Series books also help with those uninterested students who would rather not read. Once they know and like a character, they will continue to read about him/her because the interest has been sparked. They know the book will not let them down. Two wonderful series are the Captain Underpants series and the Nate the Great series. Captain Underpants books are funny, silly and written in the style of a comic book. Nate the Great books are detective books with a smart and sarcastic edge to them. Both series are popular among third graders, and I know having them in my classroom would help my student's struggles with reading. Both series would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.
