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

Hello! I am a kindergarten teacher. My co-teacher and I are looking for decodable and leveled readers to help them improve their reading. While we do have a class library, most of the books are either not decodable or at a higher level than they can currently read. My students have shown a love for reading. Even if they cannot read the exact words on the page, they love using the pictures to tell their own stories. I would love them to stay motivated.

With a completely new library, my students will continue to nourish their love for reading as well as continue to progress as emerging readers.
