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.
As an English Language Arts teacher at a Title 1 middle school, I see the struggle many students have with reading. They want to be readers, but the missing skills are holding them back.
My goal is to design a program that gives them reading skills in a way they don't even know they're in remediation.
Many of our students are several grade levels behind. They haven't had fun with reading in years. That will change with this project.
Through the use of games, short passages, and exciting writing games, students will begin to build the necessary skills to be successful. Of course, motivation is going to play a huge role in the form of prizes! Many of our students do not have themes for fun gadgets. Combining fun with language arts will change how they feel about reading and about themselves.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
