My Project

We have recently implemented a new way to teach our students to read, called the Science of Reading. I have many stations for my students to learn how to be good readers in new and unique ways! These are some materials that would help my students be engaged in their learning. Some of our stations include heart word practice with our whiteboards, colorful reading with the teacher, decodables with friends, and roll and read! Thank you in advance for all of your support, my class and I appreciate it!
