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

A Listening Center in the classroom can provide a wonderful opportunity for children to hear their favorite books read aloud again and again. The more they listen, the greater the likelihood that they will learn new vocabulary words.

Listening to reading helps students develop fluency, expression, and comprehension skills.

Having a Listening Center in the classroom can help support reader focus and build student confidence, which translates to success.

For many of my students, English is a new language. Listening to books read aloud, or even songs and rhymes, will greatly increase their proficiency in this new, complex language.
