After attending a recent training, I learned ways to help my struggling students succeed. I started implementing with materials I made using plastic divider plates and paper letters. The trainer used double sided magnetic write & wipe boards with thin line markers, and magnetic alphabet letters both lower & uppercase letters. I will use these for all my intervention groups ranging from Kindergarten to 5th grade. I feel having these materials the trainer was using will help increase my students engagement in my lessons. Your generous donations will give my struggling intervention students alternative methods to having a better understanding of their reading and writing! I will use the creating sight-word sentence center after teaching new sight words for all my intervention groups. For my Kindergarten intervention students I will use the Trace & Write Alphabet center, the tactile letters both uppercase and lowercase, and the magnetic Write & Wipe mini boards, and markers to give them extra practice with letter formation. Also, the Roll & Read Blends & Digraphs game will be used with all my intervention students. These materials will make a huge difference in improving life at school for these youngsters. These students need all the incentives to enjoy learning and become life long learners. Thank you in advance for all your donations.
