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

By the time students get to 5th and 6th grade, it is the expectation that they are reading to learn, not learning to read. However, many students have reading skills that are far behind where they need to be to accomplish this. Because my resource students have such limited time to spend learning to read, my interventions must be brief, systematic, and effective.

Many visuals and resources created to teach early reading skills are irrelevant and too childish to hold the attention of upper elementary students.

5th and 6th-grade struggling readers need visuals and resources that suit their needs and maturity level while maintaining focus on phonological and orthographic processing.

Equipped for Reading Success contains brief, effective lessons that fit the needs of my upper elementary students. These basic manipulatives and interactive tools will help to engage my resource students in the Science of Reading strategies while maintaining their need for movement and variation. Items such as the pastel highlighters and lined whiteboards take into consideration sensory and organizational needs.

Your help would mean the world to at least a few of the next generation's movers and shakers. Help me give my students the gifts of dignity and literacy, and watch them use these vital keys to gain access to the world!
