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

Research clearly demonstrates that a robust, high-quality classroom library impacts student achievement. Students who have access to an extensive, exemplary classroom library read more, read more widely for a variety of purposes, demonstrate more positive attitudes toward reading, and score higher on standardized tests of reading achievement.

Therefore, building and composing a library in my classroom is virtually important.

My classroom students are excited about reading and need an exposure to a variety of books in order to increase their reading level. A rich variety of genres would be included in my classroom library, so children are exposed to realistic fiction, historical fiction, fantasy and science fiction, biography and autobiography, stories, classics, myths and legends, picture books, reference, poetry, comic books and graphic novels.

In conclusion, for virtually all children, the amount of time spent reading in classrooms consistently accelerates their growth in reading skills and provides new vocabulary with every book.
