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

As students enter 4th grade they are just beginning their journey into reading more chapter books. Finding books that they can sink their teeth into is imperative to these readers. I want to ensure that our classroom library is well-stocked with the books my readers love!

Series books get my students hooked on reading more books!

Reading series books builds comprehension and reading fluency. Following beloved characters and a consistent narrative structure allows students to predict patterns and understand plot structure. As their comprehension and fluency grow, so does their reading confidence! Comprehension is improved as students get to know characters more deeply and make connections across the books in a series. There is an element of predictability in a series of books, and this can help boost a young reader’s confidence as they know what to expect from a story.

The books I’ve chosen will introduce my students to new or familiar characters, expand the series of book sets I already have in my classroom, and enable them to learn about the world around them.
