My Project

My students are motivated learners who come from diverse backgrounds and face a variety of academic challenges. Many of them are reading below grade level, and standardized testing creates added pressure. Despite these challenges, they show resilience, determination, and a desire to improve.

Crack the code to reading success, one workbook at a time.

I am requesting reading comprehension workbooks specifically designed to strengthen students' skills in critical thinking, vocabulary, and understanding of complex texts. These workbooks will provide targeted practice in key areas aligned with our state standards. The materials will support small group instruction, independent practice, and test prep activities. Each workbook includes engaging, grade-appropriate passages and question sets that mirror the types of questions found on our state assessments.

With the right reading tools in hand, my students will gain the confidence and skills to develop lifelong comprehension strategies that extend far beyond the classroom. Your support will put these essential workbooks into the hands of students who need them most. You’ll help close reading gaps, support academic growth, and give students the tools they need to succeed.
