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

This is my second year as a Reading Intervention teacher and I'm building up my arsenal. With my first year (almost) under the belt, I would love to include more tools and tricks for a more hands-on approach to literacy development in my upcoming 2nd year. I work with students who are reading anywhere from 2-5 years below grade level. A lot of my students are still feeling the impact of COVID as they were in 1st or 2nd grade during those years and they missed critical early literacy instruction in the classroom. Other students, coupled with the impact of COVID, are experiencing reading difficulties and they would benefit from a more well-rounded approach to reading instruction that includes using a kinesthetic tools like blocks, sensory material, and other resources like leveled books.

I'm excited to expand on my own approach to literacy instruction to be able to support all of my students in a variety of ways!
