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 today's world, literacy is the key to unlocking a brighter future. The Science of Reading has proven there is a huge need for systematic phonics instruction. In our district, we have just started moving away from a Workshop approach with leveled books to phonics-based instruction. Unfortunately, our K-2 teachers are lacking decodable readers they can use in small group and individual instruction to support their reading needs.

As they progress through our decodable library, they gain the confidence and competence necessary to tackle more complex texts, paving the way for lifelong learning and success.

Together, we can build a generation of fluent readers who are ready to face the world with confidence and make a positive impact on our society. Please consider donating to our decodable library today and be a part of this transformative journey. This library will be available to all teachers and students at TCES, but especially the K-2 classes on site. Thank you for your generosity and belief in the power of education.
