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 Students

I have been teaching ELA in Title I schools for ten years. My students have always loved to read, but we seem to hit a road block every year. The library books are constantly outdated and this turns kids off from reading. We spent some time in the public library this year to make sure my students always had high interest books

We are a Title I school and exhaust our resources every year.

My students love to read and I want to provide them with exposure to new books in order to build engagement and feed their love of books. In order to do so we need help!

My Project

When our project is funded every student will be able to have a high interest independent reading book on their specific reading level. This will aid in increasing their comprehension, fluency and stamina. We hope to develop a life long love of reading using current titles that my students can relate to.

Students will have an opportunity to leave their daily struggles and get lost in a book.

Most students come to 6th grade reading multiple grade levels below. I am on a mission to get all students reading on grade level. The books in this project will help me to do so.
