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 Project

Leveled libraries can make a big difference in student learning, especially regarding reading development. Leveled libraries ensure that students have access to books appropriate for their reading abilities. Offering books at various difficulty levels, students can practice reading materials that challenge them without being overwhelming. With leveled libraries, students can progressively move through books that gradually increase in complexity, both in terms of vocabulary and comprehension. This step-by-step progression allows students to improve their reading skills at a manageable pace, preventing frustration and discouragement. Leveled libraries are particularly useful with students at varying reading levels. My struggling readers can access books that provide the support they need, while more advanced students can be challenged with higher-level books.

My goal for this project is to ensure that all my students are receiving the appropriate level of challenge and support.

When books are at an appropriate level, students are more likely to feel successful and enjoy the reading experience. This library will boost motivation and help my students develop a lifelong love of reading. Leveled libraries also expose my students to a variety of genres and topics that are tailored to their interests and abilities. In short, leveled libraries will give my students the tools they need to develop as confident, competent readers, all while meeting them where they are and helping them progress at their own pace.

My students have a learning disability. Despite facing challenges in certain areas of learning, they have unique strengths and abilities. They may struggle with processing information in traditional ways, but they tend to develop alternative problem-solving skills, resilience, and creativity. Their learning disability often requires my students to work harder to achieve the same results, which can build a strong sense of perseverance and determination. This resilience can be a lifelong asset.
