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
Third grade is a magical year but it can also be full of challenges. The transition from second grade to third is a huge jump and can be a struggle for reluctant readers. My goal is to ensure that my students are really developing a love for reading.
Having the right books can make this task a breeze.
A large majority of my scholars are English language learners and the familiar characters help them develop their vocabulary, fluency and the phonics skills needed to be successful third graders. These early reading book series will help promote a love of reading for my scholars.
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
