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.

My Students

Middle school is awkward enough without being embarrassed about reading at a 2nd grade level.

My 6th grade special education and ENL kids are passionate, creative, and inspire me to find new ways to motivate and challenge them!

I teach at a culturally diverse school where shared experiences are crucial to engagement. My students come from low socioeconomic families and face difficulties at home, including language barriers. Many are latch-key kids who spend their after school hours going onto their devices rather than getting lost in a good book.

Yet in class, I see their love for literature. When reading a story aloud, I look up to see 30 faces hanging on every word I'm reading. They want to be readers, and have the potential, but need a lot of direction and the right books! I don't want the disabilities and the obstacles they face limiting their potential. I want to cultivate in them an autonomous love for reading!

My Project

The pandemic has changed the way our children access books. Providing real-life, tangible books (not e-books) to our students is necessary to cultivate healthy reading habits.

More and more middle schoolers are falling further behind in reading.

The high interest, low-vocabulary books I have requested will expose my students to compelling plots, complex characters, illustrations to support the text, carefully chosen vocabulary, and simple shorter sentences. The 'invisible' supports that these books provide help pre-teens to avoid feeling stigmatized by reading "baby books".

Putting these types of stories in to their hands empowers and motivates them to become lifelong readers.
