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

I am most excited about this do-it-yourself phonics kit to support struggling readers and enhance their vocabulary! With the teacher's guidance, students will organize the alphabet, identify and sound out the letters, and ultimately build words, phrases, and so much more!

Our class objective is to win over students' hearts towards reading by improving struggling readers via this phonics kit!

This group of students come from diverse backgrounds, but you wouldn't know it because we become family. All are hungry for reading and with this kit, we will certainly succeed.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
