Help me give my students the tools to support them in their beginning reading skills.

My Project

I can't wait to begin a new year with new kids. Starting early so I have the resources needed to help guide and support their learning.

A few of the items I am asking for will help kids with their beginning read skills.

Such as learning their letter sounds, letter names and to practice reading simple 3 letter words. I'm also asking for headphones to support my students during their technology time.

One of my goals for this project is to be able to help my students to learn and grow in their reading skills. Another goal of mine is to help make our classroom more organized a functional for my students and I.

Any donation is much appreciated and it will greatly benefit my students growth in their first year of coming to school.
