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 Project
These book sets have been vetted by experienced librarians and teachers to be appealing to third grade readers. I have spent some time this summer reading blogs related to third grade classroom libraries and have chosen sets that are popular among this age level.
Third grade is a pivotal year for narrowing the achievement gap in order to shift from learning to read to reading to learn.
Along with a strong curriculum and best practice, students need the opportunity to practice their skills with age appropriate texts and getting them to do that entails having books that peak their interests.
My goal for this project is to introduce each book/series by reading aloud the first chapter or two and then stopping only to place the book back into our library in hopes that they'll pick it up and continue with it. Our school serves a culturally diverse population in which the majority of them come from low-income households. I would love for them to be able to borrow a book from our library to take home and read each day along with having books available for their independent reading time in school.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
