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.
I'm trying to transform my classroom into an environment where books are treasured. My ELL students, who struggle with reading, need to feel successful as readers. It's a challenge to find the right books for them. Graphic novels are the perfect fit for them because the pictures help them understand.
My students are English Language leaners who come from low-income homes.
Many of them do not have access to books in their homes. The majority of students in my classroom are reading below grade level. Most of their parents speak only Spanish, so it is hard for them to get support and help with reading at home. This year they have come so far as readers. Every day we work to instill a love for books and reading. Through booktalks and read alouds my students are getting more and more excited about reading.
My Project
My students read independently every day. They are able to choose their own books, and most of my students gravitate towards graphic novels. These books engage them because the picture support helps them with their comprehension. Graphic novels are especially helpful for my reluctant boys readers. They can't get enough of graphic novels. I love watching these boys read graphic novels because they are finally able to feel successful as readers. We need these books in our classroom so that my students' love of reading can continue to grow.
This donation will enable me to keep putting great books into the hands of my students.
Our school library does not have many graphic novels, and the ones we do have are always checked out. By having graphic novels in my own classroom, I'll be able to help my students feel successful as readers. Seeing them enjoy reading is my greatest joy as an educator. Reading these books will keep my students engaged in reading. They are building great habits that I hope they continue throughout their lives.
