My Project

Hello! I’m Miss B, a passionate reading interventionist who helps students build their reading skills, confidence, and love for stories. Many of my students face challenges with reading, but with encouragement and support, they make incredible progress.

To celebrate their hard work and growth over each 9-week session, I want to award reading medals to the students who show the most improvement.

These medals will be a special way to recognize their dedication, boost their confidence, and motivate them to keep climbing higher in their reading journey.

Your support will help me provide these meaningful rewards that inspire my readers to believe in themselves and keep pushing forward. Thank you for helping me celebrate their amazing progress!
