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

Please help me secure materials that will help my English Language Learners be skilled, confident readers!

We know literacy unlocks a world of success- please help me provide these amazing students with that key.

These materials will result in providing specific and targeted reading skills that my scholars need. These intervention supplies will allow me to help fill literacy learning gaps.

This project contains engaging, high quality supplies that will allow me to help decode multisyllabic words, practice fluency, and develop various comprehension skills. Almost all of our starting third grade learners have literacy deficiencies, and these intervention materials will surely help fill those gaps.

Thank you so much for helping these very well-deserving, hard-working scholars!
