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

These materials will benefit my students greatly! Learning to read is a very important skill in first grade, and with continued practice in decoding, students become more fluent in reading.

Having these games for them to use during independent practice will help achieve this because they will review skills taught in class.

I want to make sure they get as much practice as they can during the year they are in first grade to develop their blending skills. The resources I am requesting will help provide practice opportunities as they become more fluent readers. My students need nonfiction reading practice cards, reading comprehension cards, fluency card banks, libro de silabas, phonics games, and more.
