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 kindergartners are just beginning to read. Current reading science advises that the use of decodable texts can and will foster a classroom of children who can successfully practice the phonics knowledge they’ve accumulated to decode words, phrases, and sentences in new books. Once a child can decode with automaticity, their comprehension will flourish! Academic success builds self-esteem and confidence.
My students are hungry to read as much as they possibly can.
These books will help them truly soar through daily independent practice and in work with their equally eager partners.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
