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
My students come from a rural, high poverty community that has a high influx of English Language Learners as well as a high population of diverse needs. Student engagement is key to their learning.
Our sixth grade students coming to school do not necessarily have access to reading materials at home.
I see reading levels starting at third grade levels. I would like to offer some choices in higher engaging texts.
The more varieties of texts and text levels I can give them will help me foster their individual growth and love for reading.
My Project
Many of my students have not found that "just right" book yet. By providing more options of varied levels and interests, I hope to expose them to something that catches and creates their desire to read. We are requesting high interest and appropriate reading level materials my students can read!
I'm looking at adding graphic novels, magazines, and novels that I can give book talks at the beginning of class.
I am starting Readers Workshop this year and am looking books that students will want to read during an independent reading time.
I am hoping that through book talks and individual conferences, I can find that book, author, or genre that a students loves that will foster a love for reading.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
