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

I have taken different trainings on the Science of Reading and have learned so much about brain-based learning and how children learn to read. I have been putting all these strategies to work in my classroom, but one of the areas I need help with is having enough readers for my students to put their newly acquired skills to practice. I need many different book choices so as I teach my student's a new skill, they can immediately learn that skill in context by reading decodable books.

These decodable books will not only improve my small group instruction, but will help my students apply the skills they have learned.

Each set focuses on a different first grade skill and will give students the practice they need to master the skill. Learning in context is more effective than simply learning a skill.
