My Project

The items that I am requesting are to enhance my second grade scholars reading skills within a small group. I want them be able to read at grade level, and with these materials they will be off to a great start. My goal is to have them reading on their own with little to no help from myself, and this can only happen if we can get these books.

My students a very special bunch of scholars, they love reading throughout the day, they are always willing to read questions during our assignments.

I love the fact they get excited to read when they are asked, or on their own at times.
