My students need leveled books, and a bookshelf with containers to organize their leveled books in our Royal Castle Library.

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.
My Students
Our school is in a low income, urban area. My students are mostly second language learners. Many of the students at my school attend the afternoon program and are at school for almost ten hours daily. They have little support with homework and very few resources at home. The students who attend my Early Reading Intervention Program have been identified as at risk in reading and are reading far below benchmark. They struggle with confidence and reading. My program is a gateway before special education, so many of these students display various forms of learning challenges and disabilities.
My Project
Giving my students access to a variety of books at their independent reading level will strengthen their reading abilities, build their confidence and make their learning enjoyable in my "Royal Castle" library. Also, with the new sets of leveled books, I will be allowed to teach guided reading at their "just right" reading level. Many of the students that I will be working with this semester are at the Kindergarten level and just beginning to learn to read.
I want to create an engaging and inviting area to read where students have ample books to read at their level and where they can access books easily and quickly.
The leveled books in our classroom currently, are disorganized and difficult to access. By setting up a bookshelf with leveled bins, I am teaching my students the value and importance of the books and the importance of being organized. The organized bookshelf will also allow for quick and easy access to the books.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
