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 Students
Read alouds and repeated readings have helped students on their quest for literacy. Accessing engaging read alouds will help students continue along the bridge to literacy reading one book at a time, one level to the next, reaching grade level fluency in reading and writing!
We are on the move!
We are a small African American and Latino community building literacy against the odds of limited incomes, housing, working parents, homelessness and the harsh realities of a challenging economy. We are a title one program improvement school striving in California to build student literacy, parent awareness, and academic achievement focusing on a college-bound theme! Our students are eager to learn, motivated to succeed, and are proud of their achievements as they earn medals from producing proficient and advanced scores on our state annual assessment. They are becoming the change they want to see as they build literacy advancing kinder to fifth grade in spite of the odds.
My Project
Struggling readers need resources at their level to develop their skills one level at a time. These book sets and cd players will allow struggling readers to read along with engaging stories to build fluency of vowels patterns. Once students have gained some level of fluency with the use of the tape they will transition to independent reading and can read aloud in small groups. These activities will add to their growth, build their confidence as readers as well as enhance their abilities to spell and write on grade level.
Literacy is the key to success!
Students with access to books who can read will go on to develop skills for life. Students who remain illiterate are denied access to a future and will remain in darkness. So help me turn on the light of literacy building that bridge one book at a time through read alouds and repeated readings.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
