Help me give my students reading experiences that go beyond just listening to an adult tell a story. I would love to use these Storytelling Kits to better engage my students in some of their favorite books!

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
Many of the students I work with come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and do not always have access to what they need to be successful learners. My students use a variety of modalities to communicate such as, Voice Output Devices (VOD), picture exchange, gestures/signs, and eye gaze. These students benefit from materials that are adapted to fit their unique needs. Modifying materials helps them access their curriculum and allows them to better participate in classroom activities and lessons. My students often require more engaging and hands on activities to help motivate them and redirect them to the selected task.
My Project
Many of my students have a hard time getting engaged in reading. My students are often distracted or would rather be in their own world rather than listen to an adult. These Storytelling Kits are a perfect way for me to combine play and literacy to make reading fun and engaging for my students!
These are books that many of my students love and I know these kits would take reading these stories to the next level.
The plush manipulatives add a tactile sensory element to the stories that most kids are missing in a reading activity. I would be forever thankful if you would help me help my students!
