My students need books to begin mastering reading so they can move up to higher reading levels as they are expected to by the end of the school year!

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 are inquisitive, adventurous, and cheerful about reading. They come from a large urban community. Our library is the center of learning in the classroom. Students bookshop in my class very often, and I want to continue to serve them by exposing them to different kinds of literature.
My students hold books like they're gold and turn into lifelong readers if they have books that excite them.
I teach in a Title 1 school in Corona, Queens and many students qualify for free lunch. Many come from diverse backgrounds and need extra support because the majority of the students are classified as English Language Learners or have particular learning disabilities. Their books choices are limited to the texts we have in our classroom library. We are looking to grow our classroom library by adding series books with determined characters that our students will enjoy and cultivate a love for reading.
My Project
My love of reading is something I want to instill in my students. I am compelled to ensure that my students love reading and can share their love of reading with others. The books I have selected are from my students' interests. These books will help to promote reading over the school year and make sure that they are reading at home. I would like to have an extensive collection of books, which hold onto their interests and make sure that they will continue reading. Helping students begin to learn that reading is fun is a perfect way to build better readers. These books are a gateway to better reading skills for reluctant readers.
When children are excited about books in their hands, they are much more determined to read for pleasure, information, instructions, and connecting with others.
