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 Students

We are a Title I school located in The Bronx, New York and are privileged to have students from Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Honduras, Yemen, Bangladesh, and Guinea. These multilingual learners (English Language Learners) comprise 21% of our school's population.

Our newcomer multilingual learners want to get their hands on interesting, exciting books.

Although many of our multilingual learners are at beginning reading levels, they get very excited when exposed to books with interesting pictures and topics that relate to their interests.

My Project

Many of our multilingual learners are losing their joy for reading because they are not yet able to read books at their age and interest level. This is particularly true of 3rd to 5th-grade newcomers who are reading at much lower grade levels. While they are acquiring English reading skills, they should have the opportunity to be exposed to age-appropriate books that align with their personal interests.

With the Fire Tablet, our multilingual learners will be able to use "Epic!" an app that reads high-interest books out loud for students to enjoy.

With this tablet, our students will be able to listen to age and grade-appropriate books on topics ranging from monster trucks to mysteries, from pirates to princesses. Each digital book is filled with colorful, detailed pictures. Each word is also highlighted as it is read out loud.

Two students will be able to enjoy a book simultaneously with the help of the headphone splitter and two pairs of headphones. We will also be able to enjoy our tablet and keep it safe for many years with a screen protector and case.

Having access to fascinating digital books is essential in keeping our multilingual learners interested in reading. Thank you!
