My Project

Our classroom is full of eager, bright students with a strong desire to learn. However, many of them face challenges in developing essential reading skills, which are critical for their academic success and lifelong learning. Many of our students come from under-resourced communities with limited access to books and literacy materials. As a result, they struggle with reading fluency, comprehension, and confidence. By providing engaging literacy games and reading intervention tools (whiteboards, post-it notes, magnetic letter tiles), we can bridge this gap and help our students develop the skills they need to excel in school and beyond. Your generous contribution will directly impact our students by providing them with the resources they need to become proficient readers. Improved reading skills will not only enhance their academic performance but also open doors to future opportunities. With your help, we can create a classroom where every child feels confident in their reading abilities and excited about learning.
