Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
I teach middle school students with learning disabilities who are struggling readers. The time off of school and distance learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic only exasperated the gap between their reading ability levels and grade level norms. We are a Title I school and all of my students and their families have been marginalized in many ways. I work hard everyday to level the playing field for them.
I am requesting books with characters that look like my students and supplies so they can create writing projects related to the literature.
With the picture ledges our books will be on display for students to enjoy. I want to create a print-rich learning environment to help my students get excited about reading. Books, books, everywhere!
After reading authentic literature with multicultural characters, my students will create writing projects that reflect the connections they make between the text and their own lives.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
