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.

Finding and supplying gratifying, entertaining reading material to low-level readers, Hispanic English learners in high school (10-12th), is a challenge. My goal is to help them find a comfort reading zone, while increasing their reading abilities with college as a destination. They must be inspired. They must be moved.

As an avid reader, I constantly come upon material that I am inspired to teach. Often, however, the material is too difficult. I was delighted to discover recently that one of the most inspirational books, "Three Cups of Tea", an international best seller, has been rewritten for young adults into a "young reader's edition," which I have purchased and read. This is the story of one American mountain climber, who single handedly changed the lives of many young people. Through perseverance he managed to build more than sixty schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He has done more for literacy than anyone would think possible for one man.

I would like to acquire a class set of this new young reader's paperback. This is a incredible story of love, adventure, and determination, which can be readily utilized in my classes.

I feel certain that this story will inspire and entertain my students while increasing their reading abilities and world interest, and lead them toward college and a better life.
