The materials donated will help support their creativity while learning difficult subjects they may not be able to read. The use of a program allows children to begin reading at their level and progress at a speed and intensity of their ability and choosing. Reading is very difficult for some, the sounds, the blends, the diphthongs, and the homophones can be frightening to some. This program takes the fears away, shows them there is nothing to be afraid of and says to them "I can read!". That excitement alone gives a child a sense of accomplishment and encourages them to try harder and makes them want not only to please themselves but to show both their parents and myself they can read and read well with practice. This program has been around since I was a student in elementary school and it has been tested and improved over the years. It's a program that's time tested and would be a good fit for my students.
