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.

I teach music to kindergarten through third grade students. I would like to support the literacy development of my students by reinforcing reading with music

I would like to have more resources in order to incorporate literacy in my music classes. The library has very few songbooks that could be used for this purpose.

By using songbooks children are given the opportunity to be exposed to print conventions within the context of a familiar song. By using a familiar song, students are able to recognize the printed words that are part of a specific song and,therefore, feel comfortable with the task at hand.

You will make it possible for my students to use songbooks to teach reading and other literacy strategies. We will then be able to offer students a variety of contexts in which to learn to read tedious tasks, such as repeated readings. Lastly, by helping us purchase songbooks you will help us enhance student learning by supporting Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences which tells us that children possess different types of intelligences, among them the musical intelligence
