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 am currently teaching middle school reading intervention for students who are five or more grades below their grade level benchmark. These students are struggling with their basic reading skills like decoding, letter sound awareness, knowing their vowel sounds, and recognizing basic irregular words.

Giving these middle school students direct phonics instruction is essential to their reading success.

Research has shown that the most effective way to teach phonics is through a multimodal approach; one where students are able to access the content through a variety of different means, including those that involve hands on material.

We have been killing it and making progress with what we have, but these kinesthetic materials, such as sand, tiles and crayons will keep the students engaged with the process and also help them internalize what they are learning.
