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

Our diverse students deserve equitable access to high-quality literacy instruction. By implementing Science of Reading and ThinkSRSD methodologies, we'll provide hands-on activities and Spanish-language materials to support our struggling learners, particularly the 80% performing below grade level. These research-based approaches will transform our students' reading and writing experiences through systematic, multisensory instruction. Our goal is to close the achievement gap by providing culturally responsive materials and proven strategies that build foundational literacy skills. Our students' determination to overcome language barriers while maintaining their cultural identity makes them truly exceptional learners deserving of these resources.
