Beginning Reading Tools

Help me give my students some basics to create paper books to send home and a beginning reader library to spark the love of reading. There are also tactile activities and color-coding materials that help teach foundational skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hanigan's classroom raised $496

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Please help me provide interesting books, paper books to send home, and sensory tools such as tactile sandpaper letters to teach beginning reading and more so my students have a strong foundation of education the rest of their academic career can be built upon. I am trying to create skills that can grow lifelong learners who enjoy education. I believe these tools will help me get ALL my kids to love reading and learning. Those are two skills that will help them become happy and productive members of society someday. Thank you for your consideration.
