Help me give my students the skills to become strong and confident authors and readers!

My Project

Research shows in the Science of Reading that to create a lifelong reader and scholar, students must first master the very basics. Research also shows that learning should be FUN.

With the Hear Myself Sound Phone Set, scholars in my classroom will have an additional tool to develop strong reading skills & phonemic awareness during small groups & independent reading.

I would use the Accelerate Learning Beginning Phonics Kit in my small groups to teach my scholars who may need extra support to read confidently. These hands-on tools will help create strong readers. Additionally, the TPT gift card will go a very long way in our classroom. I would be able to provide a variety of engaging and informative resources for my students. From last minute plans to whole units of curriculum - the possibilities are endless!
