My Students

Learning to read can be hard work, especially when you are learning to read in your second language! This additional LeapFrog Tag reader and books would allow my students to practice their reading skills in a new and exciting way.

Over 85% of students at our small, K-8 school receive free/reduced price lunch.

I am the only ELL (English Language Learners) teacher, and most of my students are Liberian, but I also have Ghanaian, Nigerian, Hmong, Latino, and Chinese students. My students are doing their best to overcome their difficult circumstances. Some lived the first years of their lives in refugee camps. Many of their parents work two jobs to keep their families going. Because of this, a lot of my students are being raised by older siblings or are in charge of raising their younger siblings. They lack a strong academic background. Despite this, my students are energetic and happy. They have been so excited in the past to receive materials from DonorsChoose. They are amazed that people who don't know them are willing to give money so they can have the supplies they need.

My Project

Reading is a big focus of what I work on with my students because it is one of the skills they struggle with the most. I try to find new and different ways to make working on reading skills fun and exciting. LeapFrog Tag readers would be a new way for me to do this. Students can read a book on their own, but when they come to a word they don't know, they can use the Tag reader to hear the word pronounced correctly. The Tag reader books also have all kinds of games and activities built in that help students work on key reading skills while having fun. In another project, I have asked for four LeapFrog Tag readers. I would also like an additional Tag reader because my small groups consist of five students, so a fifth Tag reader would mean each student could use his or her own. I would also like more books and activities so we can put the Tag readers to good use!

Reading is one of the most important skills a person can have, and right now, many of my students see it as hard work.

Once they become secure in their beginning reading skills, they will see that reading isn't work, it's something that can be fun, exciting, relaxing, adventurous, or anything else they want it to be! Please consider helping foster a love of reading in my students. Even $1 can go a long way in helping us get our LeapFrog Tag readers and books!
