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

Because each of my students is unique, I am determined to help and support them in understanding phonics and improving their reading skills. Every day, as we read and talk, they are learning new words, which I find fascinating. Some students struggle with reading, and making them interested in illustrations will help them along the way. They can also learn to use rhymes with words that sound similar. The first levels of the Little Comics Pack are funny books that are just the right level for new readers, capturing a student's interest and making them feel secure. This will aid their comprehension.
