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

Working in a Title 1 school, parents often do not have the ability to absorb the cost of additional educational resources for their child. I teach an ICT class, which is inclusive of both special and general education students. Reading levels and ability, vastly differ from child to child.

Story Works magazine will provide them with high-interest texts to engage them in their learning and support reading growth.

Story Works provides multiple modalities support all learners. It also provides differentiation so all students can access the same text. This resource is sure to help push young readers to the next level!
