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

Small group supplies will provide my special education students with the individualized, multisensory instruction they need to thrive in reading and writing. By working in small groups, students can receive targeted support tailored to their specific learning styles, helping them overcome challenges with phonics, spelling, and comprehension. This approach will not only build their literacy skills but also boost their confidence, setting them up for long-term academic success.

I need these small group supplies to effectively teach Orton-Gillingham, a structured, multisensory approach to reading instruction.

These materials - paper, crayons, dry erase markers, colored sand and more - will allow me to tailor lessons to meet individual student needs, providing hands-on opportunities to reinforce phonics, spelling, and reading skills.

With your support, I can help my students build confidence and mastery in their literacy development.
