Getting the Resources we Need to Read!

Help me give my students access to books at their level. I have non-English speaking students who want to learn and grow but don't have the appropriate tools to help them in their reading journey.

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

The students I service come from hard-working families; however, all are below the standard reading level for their grade based on New York State Standards. This is in part due to disabilities; in addition, many come from homes where English is not the primary language spoken. All of my students are one to two years behind grade-level expectations, and my fear is that if I am not able to support their needs this year, they will only fall further behind.

Unfortunately not only is their reading lagging behind their peers but their knowledge of the world around them.

Children need to be exposed not only to rich literature but also quality engaging informational texts. I want my students to have all the opportunities I grew up with.

Many of my students receive free lunch and are from single-parent homes, and most come to school with no supplies and struggle every day.

My Project

These books will help me match students with texts of progressing difficulty aimed at targeting their areas of need to help them progress and close the reading gap. Beginning with matching English vocabulary to Spanish and then progressing through the bands of difficulty.

These books will provide me with the ability to continue working in small groups to target reading skills that students need to focus on.

Once we receive the books the lives of the students will be majorly impacted; allowing them access to the appropriate resources to help them begin and grown on their journey as life-long readers.
