Help me give my students the reading skills they deserve! We will be using these picture books to work on all the many different reading skills.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Aceves's classroom raised $969
This project is fully funded
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
My students come from a low income/high poverty school in Los Angeles. At my school 100% of the students receive free or reduced lunch. Many of them are second language learners. Despite there circumstances they are eager to learn and discover the world around them.
They are "the questioners" always try to discover how the world works.
They are inquisitive and always asking questions. My students want to become better readers and writers. They are constantly trying to better their knowledge.
My Project
There are so many strategies that good readers know how to use that make them good readers. But how do you become a "good" reader. I will be using these picture books to teach my students how to use all the different reading strategies.
They will use these books to learn about theme, comparing and contrasting, making predictions, asking questions and so much more.
Using these picture books allows my students to practice these skills without the intimidation of using grade-level text. Once they become experts with these reading skills they can easily begin to transfer them to hard text.
These books will also be used to create class discussions on history, character traits, the Civil Rights Movement and so much more.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
