Charge Into Decodable Texts

Help me give my students decodable texts they can read to feel successful!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Williams's classroom raised $1,397

This project is fully funded

My Project

Decodable texts help open up a path into books that helps kids who struggle with reading feel excited and successful about reading! These books will help my reading intervention students from Kindergarten through 5th grade access books and texts that correlate with the specific skills they are working on in reading group with me. The gift card to TpT will also help me purchase materials my students can reference as they are reading to help them figure out what sounds different letters and letter teams make.

Reading, no matter how challenging, should be accessible for all kids!

The books I want to order are filled with rich stories and interesting illustrations, and the materials I want with the gift card will provide a pathway into reading when it feels challenging. Please help my wonderful students discover their own love of reading through texts that are engaging for them!
