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

My students need a fun intervention to increase their literacy skills. These novels were voted on by the students and they have created goals for each semester. We will use the books to gain fluency and stamina and apply the reading skills we learn each week.

Please help my students understand the magical world of reading and let them escape into these wonderful stories!

My students are excited to rediscover the joy of reading and want to prove how much they can improve their skills this year.

Help me to ensure they are able to reach their goals and that they are able to enjoy books all year round.
