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

Many of my students need small group interventions to reach grade level standards. They are missing foundational skills that are critical for learning to read. In order to make the progress they need they have to master these key skills.

These materials will allow them to practice these important skills in a fun and engaging way working independently or in small groups.

They can practice letters, sounds, phonemic awareness, decoding, and sight words. All of these skills are so important and help build their confidence to be able to read.
