My Project

Every year, the special education department has students entering with less and less reading skills. This school year we have at least 5-6 students who can not read sight words. We have very few resources for students reading this low in middle school. The resources in this project would allow us to have phonic books that we can use to start at the start with students. We have the program called reading horizons but these hard copies of smaller books would allow the students to have something to hold and read from.

We will be able to use these resources for the students who need it year after year.
