Becoming a Reader

Help me give my students access to engaging and meaningful decodable books in a range of text types.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Claerbaut's classroom raised $452

This project is fully funded

My Project

The books that I am requesting for this project will help my struggling readers gain confidence reading books at their level. These texts are tied to a systematic phonics program. Novice readers can practice reading these books with single consonants, short vowels, and high-frequency words.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own level.

The best way to increase reading ability is to read more. These books will help my students to grow stronger in reading.
