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 have requested Science of Reading aligned decodable books and engaging phonics stories that will allow my students to experience the Science of Reading in a fun engaging way.

The Science of Reading is proven to be a successful program that considers phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension to teach children to read.

The requested tools are aligned with the science of reading and can be implemented flawlessly into our current county curriculum. By implementing these items I know I can help my students reach their goals of reading success!
