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
A child's reading skills are important to their success in school as they will allow them to access the breadth of the curriculum and improve their communication and language skills. In addition, reading can be a fun and imaginative time for children, which opens doors to all kinds of new worlds for them.
As an educator, I am aware of student resistance to homework and hope that rather than an assignment, my students will pick up the habit of daily doses of reading.
Research supports the strong positive correlative effect of 20-60 minutes of daily reading.
Subsequent research has found that the best amount may vary; low-level readers benefit from 15-20 minutes whereas high-level readers get the greatest benefit from reading 45 minutes or more. Regardless of the best individual amount, research consistently shows that time dedicated to independent reading pays off.
The fiction books will be given out to various struggling students to read at home. I have chosen several exciting fiction novels for them to read. I want to build excitement and a love of reading. I want them to simply enjoy sitting back with an exciting book and get lost in its contents. Only through reading will they improve their vocabulary, their writing, and their grasp of the English language.
The Regents study guide exam prep book will be used to help students prepare for their year end Regents exam. Studying for Regents exams can be a daunting task. The tests are long, in-depth, and cover a year’s worth of material.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
