Help me give my students books to read. Increasing the literacy rate for students will help their ability in learning to read and increase writing skills.
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
My students are very active and hard working from the moment they walk into the classrooms, until it is time and to go home. Their enthusiasm for learning is apparent when walking down the halls. Our students come from various backgrounds, mostly low income. Teaching children from across the globe who speak little to no English is a challenge, but the one thing we all have in common is that we're excited about learning.
I have 18 beautiful children in Kindergarten who come from different parts of Central and South America.
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students struggle with learning how to read and write in English.
My Project
These books will enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. I am creating a classroom library which will encourage students to pick up a book and read. Students will be able to choose vocabulary rich books, which will entice them to continue to enjoy independent reading.
With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own level.
They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word. I've also included DVD's of their favorite book characters and interactive learning video to help them master their phonics and vocabulary skills.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
