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
Reading is a foundational skill that opens the door to every subject my scholars will encounter, both in and out of the classroom. The reading games I’m requesting will provide engaging, hands-on opportunities for my scholars to practice critical literacy skills such as phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Many of my scholars thrive with interactive and kinesthetic learning, and these games will offer a playful yet purposeful way to reinforce what we’re learning during whole-group lessons and small-group instruction. By turning reading practice into an exciting challenge, these resources will motivate even my most reluctant readers to participate and grow.
In our classroom, we celebrate progress, curiosity, and creativity—and these reading games will help me meet students where they are while encouraging collaboration and confidence.
They’ll be used in literacy centers, early finisher activities, and intervention groups, allowing me to differentiate instruction while keeping all learners actively engaged. With your support, I can bring more joy and movement into our reading routine, helping my scholars not only become stronger readers, but also lifelong lovers of books and learning.
