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

I absolutely love my students' determination and passion for learning, especially when it comes to reading! This project aims to provide them with microphones to help improve their fluency in reading which is a crucial skill for their academic success.

The specific item I am requesting, the headphones with microphones, will make a significant difference in their learning by allowing students to record themselves as they practice reading aloud.

This will enable them to hear their own voices, identify areas for improvement, and build their confidence. By listening to their recordings, they can focus on pacing, expression, and clarity, which are essential components of reading fluency.

My goal for this project is to create a supportive environment where students can practice their reading skills independently and receive immediate feedback. I want them to feel empowered to enhance their fluency, ultimately leading to greater comprehension and enjoyment of reading.

What makes my students special is their diverse backgrounds and unique stories. They have a genuine desire to improve and grow, and by providing them with microphones, I hope to nurture their love for reading and help them become confident, fluent readers. Your support in this project will have a lasting impact on their literacy journey!
