My Project

Phonics plays such an important role when it comes to reading. This past year I have been taking part in LETRS training to further my own knowledge of teaching reading and so that I have the skills to combat the reading difficulties I see with students in my classroom.

With this set of decodable readers that focus on the phonics skills that we learn each day, I can help these students have the tools they need to be successful readers for the rest of their lives.

I have done the work and research and came across this set of books. They have been vetted by the The Reading League and I love that these books have characters from various backgrounds, allowing children to connect with and learn from a diverse range of perspectives, celebrating differences and promoting empathy. It is so important for students to see people like them in the books they read!

I hope that you will donate to this project so that together, we can make a difference!
