Boosting Literacy: High-Interest Books for 10th Graders

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

My students are a diverse group with varied reading levels and interests. Many of them struggle to find books that speak to them, leading to disengagement. By providing a selection of high-interest books, I hope to make reading a joyful and meaningful part of their lives.

With these new books, my students will have access to literature that excites and engages them, fostering a lifelong love of reading.

This project will not only improve their literacy skills but also empower them to think critically and empathetically about the world around them.

This year in my class we are working on making reading a daily habit for all students, by expanding my classroom library I hope to be able to match each student with a book that gets them excited about reading every day!
