A Fair Chance at Reading Success!

Help me give my students reading centers to assist in their academic development. Many of my students are two grade levels behind due to the pandemic. They are in dire need of reading intervention activities.

My Project

I have the pleasure of working with middle school students in our neighborhood. My students exhibit meaningful character traits that make them amazing individuals to interact with on a daily basis. They are eager to learn and yearn for every opportunity to push and challenge their thinking.

My students are in dire need of reading centers to give them more practice and exposure to foundational, grade level, reading skills.

Due to the pandemic, many of my students are one to two grade levels behind, these centers will be used as additional practice with grade level content. These centers will be used daily after whole group instruction. Students will be placed into small groups and have the opportunity to rotate between all the different reading centers to reinforce fundamental reading skills.
