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

Our teachers are shifting to the science of reading. Many gaps are being discovered due to Covid 19 and online learning. Shifting our practice to systematic explicit phonics will ensure our students success.

These decodable readers will help our young readers practice their phonics skills.

The books will help build their confidence to become strong fluent readers. These books will be added to our decodable book library for teachers to check out. They can use these books for small group instruction.

Students of all ages will have access to these books. Using the systematic approach the students will progress from basic to more complicated phonics skills.

I am so excited to see our students become fluent and confident readers!
