"As a Language Arts Specialist, it is my privilege to serve at risk elementary students in small group reading, as well as provide support during Language Arts, Social Studies, Science and Math. Since the beginning of my teaching career in 1993, it has been my goal to create fun and engaging learning experiences, and to share the love of reading. It is my desire that you partner with me in reaching these goals.

In this “digital age” in which we live, it is becoming increasingly challenging to capture and hold the attention of young minds. However, with your support of Ready…Set...Read, students will be engaged, and experience the joy of learning…all while acquiring the necessary skills to master the reading process through the incorporation of the Eggspert Gaming System and basic educational manipulatives.

Our present economy has made it increasingly difficult to choose between the basic needs of my family, and much needed resources for my students. Thanks to your kind support, that is a choice I no longer need to make.

Thank you for choosing to partner with me through DonorsChoose.

Gratefully,

Mrs. S

My students need 7 reading resources, including Reading First Phonemic Awareness Activity Center, a magnetic tabletop pocket chart, magnetic letters/sentence strips, magnetic word highlighter and an Eggspert Game System with adaptor. The cost of this proposal is $250, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ?."
