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

With these laminating sheets, ink, folders, and paper trimmer I can make fun and engaging literacy workbooks that will help my readers read independently at their academic level. I will use these resources to create a reading kit for each of my students that target their skills to support their reading level. My students have shown great interest in reading, and this project will help push them to challenge themselves. This project will also help enrich their reading skills and reach their reading goals.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student reading interest, but you will also help to increase their academic achievement.

I hope that with your help I can bridge the gap for below-grade-level readers.
