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

Over my years of teaching, I have compiled children's book series to help students increase their interest and enjoyment of reading. These book series have been popular and well-loved by many students. Students are super excited when they find out that the author has published more books in their favorite series. I am asking for the latest books to add to my current series, plus a new popular series.

High-interest series help all students develop a love of reading.

I believe that finding the right book for a child develops a love of reading. Providing the proper series allows children to keep on reading. Many high-interest series stretch students' reading levels. Although it may be a challenge for them, students continue to read, focus and enjoy. As a result, students improve their comprehension.
