High Interest Text for Ready Readers.

Help me give my students books that support their reading level, their interest, and have characters that look like them. Inclusion is not only about what I do as a educator but what my kiddos engage in independently.

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

My cool kids deserve an even cooler classroom library. My classroom environment is set up to support my learners needs; they enjoy flex seating, rug time, breaks, and digital supports but we lack a classroom library that reflects their range of reading needs.

I support and facilitate Ready Readers with the need for leveled, decodable, and inclusive text.

My learners' reading level range from Level D to Level R and we need new text to support that. They yearn for High interest text and a wider variety of options for our independent reading and book club activities.

My Project

The books selected will support all the reading levels in our class. The selections are aligned to the Latino, and African American experiences of these learners. Their language, classifications, and points of view were at the forefront of these selections.

For Example, the text Those Shoes was selected because of if message about peer pressure, equality, bullying, poverty, and compassion.

These are all lessons that need to resound through multiple access points in their lives, especially in a JUST RIGHT book. As a special educator, I want my learners or as i call them Ready Readers, to see themselves in everything they do, learn about, and have access to.
