High-Low Intervention Reading System for Struggling Students
Help me give my students who read levels below their current middle school grade the opportunity to use high interest-low level reading intervention sets to improve their comprehension and confidence.

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 Students
Our school, located by the famous Bronx Zoo, is filled with the the laughter and smiles of our beautiful Pre-k to 8th grade students. But there are some children, our exceptional students, who face many obstacles and challenges at school and within their communities. This wonderful group of exceptional children won't let anything get in their way of learning and having fun while they do so.
Our pre-K to 8 school is comprised of the most amazing students who are determined to succeed acacademically regardless of any circumstances they may encounter in their lives, communities and school.
Exceptional needs students. Many of these students must contend with various disabilities ranging from learning and speech delays to intellectual disabilities.
As part of a Title I school, the majority of these students' families have great financial needs. Our students are in need of basic services and qualify for the free or reduced lunch program. Recognizing these needs, our teachers turn to donors like you to help us provide basic supplies for our children. Every donation directly helps these students!
My Project
It can be challenging to find a book that will appeal to a middle grade students who read years below their current grade level. High interest/low reading level books can motivate my struggling special education readers by providing books on topics that their peers are reading, but targeted toward their reading level. High/low books can help build reading fluency, vocabulary, background knowledge and interest in reading.
These high/low books provide supports for struggling readers, including illustrations to support the text, carefully chosen vocabulary, simple sentences, compelling stories, and characters that interest the reader.
These supports are provided in a way where my middle schools readers don't feel that they are reading "books for babies."
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
