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

I have the great priviledge to teach students in small groups who have reading or math difficulties. They are overcomers!

Students who struggle early in life make the best adults.

They learn early that overcoming obstables is what life is all about!

My Project

Teaching to students with dyslexia requires repetition and practice to mastery. Finding items to read that match their phonics ability increases the practice in context and boosts their confidence because they realize that they can read! All they need is a different teaching method.

For some intelligent minds, blending "b-a-t" takes great effort.

At times, the b will flip to a d, and it is hard to stretch the sounds together so that it even sounds like a word in your mind. It is a magical moment when a kid is able to blend the isolated sounds into a word they recognize.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
