Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

This project contains hands-on literacy tools to promote foundational reading skills. Letter builders and letter tiles provide students with engaging tools to create words. Mapping tools provide students with a science-backed strategy to build their reading skills. Sound cards will provide students with much-needed visuals of each sound we learn in class including a visual of a person producing that sound.

This project will help students who need the most support with reading, thrive.

The tools in this project will provide additional support, engagement, and instruction for our students. Thank you for reviewing our project!
