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

Many students struggle with reading and writing in school. They experience writing fatigue as well as inability to read large portions of text both online or on paper handouts. With the use of pencil grippers students will be able to regain control over their pencils and help to eliminate the writing fatigue we see often.

The little notebooks will also allow the students to practice using the grippers in a free space without the guidelines we see with typical writing.

Having access to a laminator in class allows for students new and improved writing skills to be showcased for all to read. Boosting students reading and writing confidence!
