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

Do you remember when your mom read you a story to bed at night? When my mom read to me each night, it was magical. I traveled to far-off places and met new friends. I developed a love for reading that remains today.

Yoto players enable teachers and families to develop that love for reading and learning in early readers.

Listening to books read aloud improves fluency and comprehension, helps build vocabulary, and more.

The Make Your Own cards have endless possibilities! Cards of our Favorite Stories. Cards that connect to our Social Studies or Science unit. Card of our Book of the Month. Cards for the stories we’ve listened to before. Cards for stories we’ve never heard.

Your donation will help spread the joy of literacy to the diverse range of learners in my classroom. Thank you!
