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 first graders are eager to learn and are in need of quality leveled reading books that will enable them to have daily practice in reading both in class and at home.
My students are vibrant first graders who are excited about school and eager to learn.
Most of my students come from low socio-economic families. My students don't have access to many books at home and need as much support as possible. My goal is to supply them with the materials they need to strive.
My Project
Teaching children how to read requires meeting each student at their instructional level and providing them with innovative and effective reading instruction that meets each individual's needs. After testing each of my students individually I then group them according to their reading levels. Once in their guided reading groups I teach them the necessary skills to learn how to read. We work on using various reading strategies such as using context clues, letter and sound relationships and word structure. In order for me to give these children the best possible instruction I need to use quality reading books that are geared for their reading level. Guided reading is a strategy for helping children become strong readers.
With these leveled texts that gradually increase in difficulty, students apply strategies in context and feel successful!
My goal is for students to become confident, proficient readers who LOVE to read!
Can you imagine a world without books? Can you imagine trying to learn how to read without support of quality reading books? My students truly need these leveled reading books so that they can learn how to become strong readers. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of my first graders.
