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

These materials will help my students improve their reading. I will use the fluency phones to help them hear themselves as they read, so they will be more likely to read a word correctly or notice if it doesn't make sense. It will also motivate them as it is fun to read with these phones. I will use the other reading resources in small groups to have students practice their sight words and decoding skills. Using these different resources will make it more engaging for the students, which will increase their success.

My goal for this project is to increase my students' reading abilities in a fun way.

These materials will help them engage with reading in multiple ways and will increase their motivation for reading. My students are special as they are care for others. They cheer each other on when they achieve something. They let each other know it is okay to make mistakes when they do. My students are fantastic and I want to help them succeed at reading.
