My Kindergarten students are RED! We are Reading Every Day in small groups. I am a kindergarten teacher in South Carolina and I would love to have your support in my classroom.

I am always looking for ways to to make learning fun and inviting. I want my students to love learning, especially reading because it is the most important part of the kindergarten curriculum. The challenge is meeting the needs of every student because they are at many different levels of learning. Every day I spend a portion of our day working with small groups on reading instruction. While I am working with one small group I need the remainder of my students to work in learning centers. I believe the Leapster Learning System would provide my students a center they would love to visit while I am busy with my reading groups. It would not only be a fun learning center but it would also support the instruction they receive during their reading group time.

The portable Leapster Learning System teaches the way students love to learn, using sight, sound, and touch in interactive environments. The interactive touch screen, pen and multi-directional control pad allow for lots of hands-on interaction. Adjustable skill levels let students learn at the pace that is right for them. I know this would be a favorite learning center in my classroom!

Your help will ensure that my students are engaged in learning while I am able to provide small group reading instruction. Thank you so much for your support!
