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

Books take us to places we can only dream about. We find new friends in characters that we grow to love.

Introducing children to chapter books at an early age can nurture a love of reading and help get children on the road to becoming avid readers.

Early readers and transitional chapter books serve an important function in a child’s reading development. These books allow children time to develop the necessary skills, confidence, and love of reading that will put them on the path of becoming successful lifelong readers.

Chapter books help to grow reading stamina, language proficiency, and a rich and deeper understanding of the world which benefits language and connection!
