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

The Harry Potter book series is the definition of a classic. It has been read by millions over the years, and it's still popular among both children and adults. One could argue that these books are so famous because they teach us important lessons that we can apply to our own lives, thus making them great reading texts. Additionally, the Harry Potter series is truly beneficial for student literacy because it fosters a love of reading by providing engaging stories, accessible language, and complex themes, which can encourage students to read more widely, improve vocabulary, and develop critical thinking skills while enjoying the narrative.

The magical world and exciting plot lines capture students' interest, making them more likely to continue reading.

Harry Potter teaches kids to read on a higher level and fosters a love of reading that will extend into other books.
