Help me give my students independent reading books in Spanish and high interest graphic novels to instill a love of reading in all students.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Minato's classroom raised $699
This project is fully funded
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
Our school has dedicated independent reading time to help foster a love of reading for all students. Having a classroom library that consists of books from a variety of genres and levels to engage all students is important to invest all students with various needs. I believe that all students are readers and finding the right book that starts them on the path towards a love of reading can be life changing. The best way to build literacy skills is for students to read more; having access to books like these that are high interest and in the student's native language can foster excitement for reading. My students this year have expressed an interest in graphic novels which are lacking in my current classroom library. I also have several English Language Learners that will benefit from books in Spanish so that they can build literacy skills in their native language.
By supporting this project, you will help ensure that all students in my classrooms have a book that is of high interest and accessible to them.
Many of these books are books that my students have requested to read or are similar to books that my students enjoy and are constantly checked out. These books will give my students more choice during independent reading time and prove to them that reading can be an enjoyable experience with the right book. Thank you for supporting my students on their journey to build essential literacy skills to set them up for success.
