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.

I teach eighth grade English-language arts at a high-needs school. Many of my students are English-language learners and students with special-education needs. Several of them are on a fourth to fifth grade reading level. Many of my other students are at grade level or beyond.

With such various reading levels in one room, the best way that I can differentiate for my students is to invest them into reading independent books that they find interesting. However, currently our classroom library has only a small selection of outdated books, which makes it difficult to engage my kids in independent reading.

In order to achieve our goal of two years' reading growth in one year, my students need to be reading constantly--at home and in the classroom! I am asking for various high interest titles (especially series to hook my students!) at different reading levels so that our library can become a place of pride and interest.

You will make it possible for my students to become richer in reading by encouraging them to read with high interest titles at their appropriate levels. Thank you so much for considering my proposal and helping to make a huge difference in the life of 50 middle school students!
