Professional development

Climbing Mt. Dyslexia and Other Challenges

I need resources to help my dyslexic students strengthen their reading skills and a few materials to support my special education classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Snyder's classroom raised $340

This project is fully funded

My Project

I’m a brand new special education teacher. My specialty is neurodivergence but many of my students are dyslexic. HELP! I need materials to support their learning challenges so I can help them grow as readers! I also want to learn more about dyslexia so I know best how to modify and adapt their assignments so they can be successful learners. Since I’m new with limited resources, there are also manipulatives and support materials that would be helpful to have to level the playing field for my students. I love watching students gain confidence in their abilities!
