My Project

The Science of Reading is one of the most talked about movements in education. 95% of our students can learn to read with the explicit reading instruction.

Teachers are finally able to do better because of having a better idea of how the brain learns to read.

Literacy levels across the nation are around 40% and we need to do everything we can to raise that percentage.

This project request is for new stools and decodable books. Decodable books allow students to apply their knowledge of the skills they have already been taught so they can read independently. Having a tiny classroom limits the amount of furniture and the size of furniture I can have. These stools will allow students to have a different way to work at my classroom table while being storage efficient for my classroom.
