This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 teach in a high need public school with limited resources.
Most of the students in my school come from low-income families and are faced with many challenges in their lives.
Yet they come to school ready to learn and absorb new knowledge.
School is a place where they can experience the world around them through books and engaging lessons. My students are very eager and active students who are full of energy. They need all the support and encouragement the school community can provide.
My Project
For many of my students, learning to read has been difficult. Sometimes they get frustrated and want to give up. One way to increase their interest in learning despite its difficulty is through games. They love a challenge when it is in the form of technology! Using an iPad is an engaging way to get my students excited about learning to read.
My students will use the iPad to improve their literacy skills.
They will be able to play games that teach basic reading skills like letter names and sounds, building simple words, spelling, vocabulary and text comprehension. The will use free apps available for eBooks with engaging stories which they will be able to listen to with the audio features. We already have one iPad mini in our classroom, but we need another so that my 21 students can take turns and share the learning experience!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
