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

Hello Donors,

I developed this project in hopes to gather the remaining materials I need to fully implement a new reading intervention.

I recently received training in the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education's Morphology course. It is an evidenced based approach that supports readers with developing their understanding of word parts to promote fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and spelling. Through initial assessments, I have found this curriculum to be a high need in my high school special education English courses.

These materials will allow me to teach and apply this intervention with the students in my courses with fidelity. I already started to apply this intervention in my lessons, but am hopeful that these materials will exemplify the learning experience for my students.

Thank you for considering a donation to help empower these amazing learners.

Sincerely,

Rebecca McDonald

Mrs. McDonald Sierra High School Grades 9-12
