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.
Our students are empathetic, driven, and critical in analyzing the world around them. Developmentally, students are ready to start asking tough questions that even adults struggle with; seeking out answers be it through teachers, classroom materials, or their own research.
The best part about 10 and 11 year-olds is that students are proud to share their strong opinions and quick to stand up for a friend or community in need.
Whether it's detecting bias in a text, or standing in solidarity with a national protest, students are actively engaged in their surroundings.
My Project
Once children learn to read, they begin to use books as a way to learn. However, this becomes a daunting task when students exhibit difficulties with foundational reading skills, be it decoding, fluency, or comprehension. It becomes critical that classroom libraries contain high-interest low-level books as well as series books and individual texts that are accessible to each student. As a special education teacher in a self-contained classroom, the independent reading levels of my students may shift dramatically from year to year. Consequently, I must curate a library that is not only accessible but also enticing to children reading at any/all independent levels.
By donating to this project, you will be providing reluctant readers with opportunities for joy and success in reading.
With these new books and new series, I will be able to provide my students with materials that not only enable them to learn and succeed, but will engender a newfound confidence and love of reading.
