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

I love that my students are eager to come to learn in our little classroom! Although reading is still challenging for them, they are always ready for new learning. Reading is always more fun when you turn it into a game. So of course I always try to make my lessons engaging and fun.

What better way to captivate my students than with Lakeshore Learning Games!

I will use the phonics games in small groups to reinforce the reading skills taught. Then my students will have opportunities to play and learn on their own or with a partner. The only way to improve reading fluency is by practicing consistently and daily. With these games, my students will be able to practice reading from the simplest CVC words to more complex multisyllabic words all while having fun.

They always look forward to fun reading games!
