Grades PreK-2

I teach a split second-third grade class, with five extremely low readers that happen to be in third grade. I teach in a primarily African American, high needs, low income, free lunch public school.

I am finding that our classroom focus on differentiated instruction, especially for reading, is just the key to success. Their skills have grown tremendously since I implemented word sorts and new games to practice their phonetic skills, however fluency is still a struggle. I am so excited for the Tag system and audiobooks that are engaging and motivating for my students to listen to and read with.

My students needs the Tag system and audiobooks to increase their fluency, while also helping them with correlation between words and sounds. I want to keep them motivated and engaged in their reading, so they don't get overwhelmed but rather excited to learn to read. These programs will be a wonderful addition to our classroom.

You will make it possible for struggling students, that have been struggling for several years, to READ fluently and with high comprehension.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
