Building Strong Readers: Tools for Success in Grades 2-3

Help me give my students reading intervention tools for success in grades 2-3.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Curry's classroom raised $216

This project is fully funded

My Project

Reading is the key to unlocking a world of knowledge, and my second and third grade intervention students are working hard to build their skills! To support their growth, I am seeking materials that will help them stay organized, engaged, and motivated. Binders will allow students to keep their reading passages, notes, and progress tracking sheets in one place, while highlighters will help them identify key details and improve comprehension. Tracking posters will provide a visual way for students to monitor their progress and celebrate their achievements.

To keep learning fun and rewarding, I also want to provide stickers and small treasure chest items as incentives for their hard work.

These rewards will encourage students to stay focused and motivated throughout their reading journey. Your support will help create an engaging and structured reading intervention environment where students can build confidence and develop a lifelong love for reading. Thank you for making a difference in my students’ learning!
