Decoding Tools for Learning Literacy Skills

Help me give my students fun writing and light-up tools to use while growing their literacy skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kelly's classroom raised $721

My Project

Students need engaging tools to advance their literacy skills. The lessons are fast-paced but we need to make sure that the lessons are supported with multi-tools. Using the senses enhances and engages student retention.

Light-up manipulatives like laser pointers, light sabers, and Mini Electronic Doodle Board Graphics Educational Toys will add extra fun and excitement.

Students will have a blast while learning!

Learning to read is complicated. Students will have a rewards bin where student can "buy" things with the positive behavior points they've earned through effort in class.
