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 teach in a special education resource room. Many of my students are reading significantly below grade level and need not only explicit instruction in phonics but they also need repeated exposure to texts that are written with controlled spelling patterns reviewing the concepts that they have already learned. I would love for my students to have a wide variety of texts to choose from that they cannot only feel successful reading, but don't make them feel ashamed.

Many of the resources I have available to me are not age appropriate as they are geared towards kindergarten aged children.

Not only are these texts not engaging to third, fourth and fifth graders but they can damage students' self esteem and confidence. I want students to have a variety of materials to choose from to practice their skills and to feel proud of the growth they are making in my classroom.
