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
Sixth grade starts the school year excited about improving their reading! To make this goal a reality, they must get repeated practice with books that are right on their level. My students practice a lot of practice at times when small groups of students read and share an interesting book.
My school serves a low-income population with 90% of students receiving Free and Reduced Lunch.
Our students are also very diverse, and 70% of them are identified as minority students. Many factors outside of school affect our children and their learning. Still, they come to school each day eager to learn. Our goal is to provide instruction that makes our students feel successful and builds their love of learning.
My Project
With a well-rounded reading library in my class, I can build that love of learning. I can match small groups of students to texts that meet their individual interests and needs as readers. A wide variety of texts is necessary to grow all children into confident, well-rounded readers. I will use a reading library to plan lessons catered to groups of 5-6 students. The students will read, discuss, and respond to the text individually and as a small group. In this format, students experience success because the selected texts are right at their level and they are supported by peers with skills and interests similar to their own. Children progress through the reading levels as they develop strategies to read unfamiliar words. They simultaneously learning how to comprehend and evaluate the texts they share through discussions with one another and with the teacher.
Children need to feel successful in order to persevere as learners.
With having more books available to my students, who do not have that access in their own homes, they will have a better opportunity to love reading and see the greater impact it can have on their lives and their education.
More than half of students from low‑income households
