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

My students sometimes struggle with reading text at grade level. My history textbooks are great, and they contain important information, but most of my students do not consider them fun to read.

Reading for fun is a wonderful way to help students build vocabulary and improve reading fluency.

Studies have proven that reading, for fun, for 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week, will do wonders for a young learner. They will have a bigger, and better, vocabulary. They will become fluent readers, and they will do better in school.
