I am a special education language arts teacher in a title 1 middle school. I work with a group of 13 students daily in an intensive reading classroom to teach them how to read. My students have reading levels that range from 1st grade to 4th grade. They struggle greatly with their short vowels, consonant digraphs, vowel teams, and other phonics of reading. In middle school is more than likely the last time they will have exposure to vowel sounds and back to phonics. Please consider donating to allow my students that chance to fill in the gaps in their reading and be successful not only in school, but in their life.
