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

This project promises to revolutionize the way students engage with reading. Gone are the days of monotonous basal readers. These new materials offer a diverse and captivating experience, ensuring children truly embrace and enjoy the act of reading.

Let's move beyond the confines of predictable plots and dry characters.

This project opens a door to a universe of literary possibilities, where students can truly connect with the written word and discover the magic of reading.

Forget the forced "must-read" lists of the past. This project empowers students to explore their own literary interests, turning reading into a personal adventure filled with excitement and discovery.
