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

Teachers love to learn! I am requesting several texts to help grow my knowledge of the best current strategies to support students and their learning during language arts instruction. Three of the books on my wish list will teach me about effective strategies to implement the Science of Reading in my classroom. The other two books will guide me on strategies to support students who are struggling and need additional intervention.

By receiving these books, I will be able to continue learning more strategies and information that I will then use to help support my bilingual learners.
