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

In our PreK 3-year-old classroom, we focus on six Early literacy skills: Print Motivation (Being interested in and enjoying books), Print Awareness (Noticing print everywhere, knowing how to handle a book, and knowing how to follow the written word on the page); Letter Knowledge (Knowing that letters are different from each other, knowing letter names and sounds, and recognizing letters everywhere); Vocabulary (Knowing all kinds of words); Phonological Awareness (Hearing and playing with the smaller sounds of words); Narrative Skills (Describing things and events, telling stories, knowing the order of events, and making predictions).

This project dedicates to bringing engaging literacy games into small group instruction in our classroom.

We have built a rich resource of books and strategies for Print Motivation, Print Awareness, Vocabulary, and Read-Aloud through our whole group time. We need more materials to engage students in Letter Knowledge and Phonological Awareness, which are the building blocks for later literacy development. Therefore, this project is created to fill that need of our students.

Thank you so much for your support!

Kindly,

Ms. Nguyen
