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 Students

Four simple words . . . "Tell me a story." Those four words are at the heart of the 60 Minutes award winning television news magazine. Those same words are spoken by my students every day! How I wish I could read to them all day, but with a listening center, I can!

My students attend a public school in one of the poorest congressional districts in the nation.

Most, if not all, are the children of immigrants from families on public assistance or low income households. Many of my first grade students are failing to achieve success with beginning reading skills. Some of them have special needs and/or a learning disability.

My Project

Having a CD/cassette player and tangle-free headphones to listen to books on tape (or CDs) will provide my students with repeated exposure to vocabulary words in their favorite high interest books. This is important for building and developing their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. An up-to-date listening center will be instrumental and necessary helping students develop important literacy skills and gain confidence in reading books at grade level.

"There is no better tool than a book.

It can pry open the locks of poverty and hopelessness and make way for dreams that take hold. -Marian Wright Edelman, Founder & President, The Children's Defense Fund. With your funding, my students will have the resources needed in a listening center to build sight word knowledge, fluency and to hear modeled expressive reading.
