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

Do you remember the first time a good story swept you away? I am passionate about reading and make it my top goal to show my students the power a good book can have. To help my students gain a love for reading, our classroom library needs some good books that my students will want to read.

Many of my students are first or second generation Americans.

Some are learning to read English for the first time. Others are just turned off to reading because of the difficulties they have with it or their inability to find interesting books. Reading is not a priority in many of their households and many students don't even own a library card! The only exposure they have to reading is in my classroom.

My Project

I have hand selected books which, in my experience, inspire students to read them. The titles are all engaging and are popular choices for the students in my school. These stories have engaging plots which can easily capture a student's interest and show that that reading does not have to be a chore. With these books in my classroom library, I can make independent reading in class a time which students look forward to, instead of one which they try to get through with "fake" reading. With these books, I hope to teach my student that there is a book for everyone and that they can become lifelong readers.

If you love to read and would like to help future generations discover the joy of reading, then please help by donating to this project and bringing my students the resources they need.
