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

We have almost 1600 students in our inner city high school and unfortunately many of them read below grade level. To increase reading skills and to develop a love of reading, we are starting a schoolwide Drop Everything and Read program. We have small classroom libraries created to assist us in this endeavor and a resourceful librarian who is creatively ensuring the students have choices in books.

Past experience has revealed that for many reluctant readers a book can sometimes be overwhelming, so we want to have additional print resources available.

We want EVERY student to be reading. Having these magazines available will make that possible.
