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

My second-grade classroom is full of energetic, curious learners, but many of my students are still struggling with foundational reading skills. A significant portion of them are non-readers, and as their teacher, I want to provide them with the tools they need to succeed. Early literacy skills are critical to their overall academic development, and having the right phonics materials can make a huge difference in helping them become confident, fluent readers.

The phonics materials I am requesting will help my non-readers by building their letter-sound relationships and blending skills.

By using interactive tools like phonics games, my students will be able to practice and master these essential skills in an engaging way.

Using phonics-based activities, I aim to help my students improve letter recognition, sound blending, and decoding words.

Phonics materials that incorporate games and hands-on learning will make reading exciting and enjoyable for my non-readers.

With regular practice and support, I hope to build my students’ confidence in their reading abilities, encouraging them to become more independent readers.

By supporting this project, you will provide my students with the resources they need to overcome their reading challenges and set them on a path toward academic success. Your contribution will make a meaningful impact on their future. Thank you for considering our request!
