Motivating Students to Read

My students need Fire Tablets in order to inspire them to read and to allow them to read eBooks.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ybarra's classroom raised $627

This project is fully funded

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

Many of the students at the Title I school where I work at have limited access to books, technology, and digital resources at home; but through the school library, they have access to many books, eBooks, and online databases. These students come from diverse backgrounds, and some of the families are faced with the daily struggle to meet the family's basic needs.

As the school librarian, I want to get the students excited about reading and using technology in the library.

By giving students access to books and technology in the library, I hope to encourage the students to become lifelong learners and readers.

My Project

By participating in a school wide reading program, students will have the opportunity to win and use an Amazon Fire Tablet. The program requires the students to read books, participate in book talks, and complete reading logs about the books.

Students will be entered into a drawing to win the Amazon Fire Tablets.

The students can then use the tablets to read and access eBooks that are available to them through our school library. Once the eBooks are downloaded at school, students can read the eBooks at home even if they do not have Internet access at home.

Students will be inspired to participate in the school wide reading program by having a chance to win an Amazon Fire Tablet along with other prizes.
