Celebrating 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 goal is to help spark an interest in reading for my students by connecting with a sport that many of my students love - soccer! Students in my reading intervention room like to read about soccer, their soccer heroes, and friends. I do not currently have a large collection of soccer-themed books, so I would like to add soccer-themed books, activities, and incentives that will keep them reading in my classroom. Struggling readers will often pick up a book that interests them because the pictures and visuals draw them in, and what better way than to highlight their beloved sport of soccer.
I would also like to encourage my students to read by helping them earn goals that incorporate playing their favorite sport of soccer.
When they reach their goal of pages, skills, or books read, they can earn rewards such as extra time kicking the soccer ball. For a big reward, they can go outside and kick the ball into the soccer goal or have a small scrimmage. By connecting their interests to their reward, the students will work hard to score points in their soccer game as well as in their reading goals, building their brains and their muscles.
