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

Help my students increase their reading comprehension and fluency by providing headphones with microphones! These tools will support guided reading programs and reading apps that allow students to listen, read aloud, and receive immediate feedback- helping them become more confident and fluent readers.

With the right technology, we can spark their curiosity and foster a lifelong love of reading.

By adding engaging and diverse books to my classroom library, students will find reading exciting and something they look forward to during their school day. Many of my students lack reading materials at home. Thank you for your support!
