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

I would love to help my 4th-grade scholars become better readers and discover the love of reading. Many of my students don't have books at home to read and sadly I don't have leveled books to help build their skills independently.

Leveled books target a reader's skill and give readers practice to move on.

These books would allow me to do centers and have a classroom library that students could go to and pick a book they can read. All my students love visiting the library, but these books aren't building student's reading skills. The books I have selected I am very familiar with and will allow students to put what they've learned into practice by applying and reinforcing key foundational reading skills. I love reading and want to pass this love onto my students, but know I need books they can read successfully.
