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

As kindergarteners and beginning readers, our kids are motivated and enthusiastic about reading! Decodable books allow children to read using the letter/ sound relationships that they know. This builds their confidence and reading ability. It also builds independence, which children crave.

Decodable books build happy, lifelong readers!

When children have books in their hands that they can read the whole reading world opens up to them. Research has shown that students who are strong in their ability to decode words at a young age are much more like to be strong readers.

Please help these wonderful children get the types of books they need to succeed!
