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.
Do you remember trying to do something that seemed really hard? It may have even felt impossible. As a Reading Specialist in a Title One district on the border of Detroit, I provide support to kids who are currently at the bottom 20% in reading. I love helping my students develop the skills they need to succeed in school.
My students are amazing kids that struggle with learning to read, and so many really want to be fantastic readers and writers.
These kids need your help! With your support, we will be able to have those extra resources that can help all kids learn to love reading and writing. We would love to have you as part of our Literacy Team!
My Project
Ramping Up Readers requires having a lot of great books available for kids to read and re-read. This project is Part 3 of my goal to offer all of the students and teachers at my school great read alouds and resources to really ramp up everyone's reading.
A few days after reading Groovy Joe: Ice Cream and Dinosaurs I returned to their classroom to work with a group of early readers who were so excited to share how they had created their own (oral) story-song using rhyming words just like Groovy Joe and now they wanted to write it down!
Ramped-up readers and writers need books that inspire them to enjoy reading and have a vested interest in their writing.
Your support of this project will help a whole school of kids ramp-up their love for awesome characters who solve real-life problems, just like Groovy Joe and the Dinosaurs.
With your help, we will be able to share these books and our love of reading.
