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

Phonics can be hard especially for students with learning disabilities and students who are multilingual learners. Playing phonics games helps reinforce learning and make it fun. These phonics games serve as small group and individual practice for students aligning with whole group learning.

Learning is always more fun and engaging when it feels like play.

Besides that play is the best way to learn.

My students love games where they are using their brains and their bodies. They love games where they can actively engage with the materials.

These students try really hard to accomplish their reading and language acquisition goals. Help them Read It to Win It.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
