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

I am a Special Education Teacher in Chicago! My students deserve the world and deserve to have leveled readers that they are interested in. The students that I work with are kind, caring, and growing so quickly!

Thank you for taking the time to look into our project!

My Project

These leveled readers will help students in their reading class! I want to use these to help assign appropriate and high-interest independent reading books for the students. This will help make sure students are reading at their independent reading level when we have reading time and give them agency in picking what they want to read from their bin! With these books, I can make sure that students are reading books that are "just right" for them where they are slightly challenged but not frustrated when they read independently. I am so excited about this project because my students deserve the world!
