My Project

My second graders are eager to become strong and independent readers. Through structured and explicit reading instruction of phonics skills, my young readers will dive into these beautiful and engaging decodable books.

These fiction books will enhance our literacy time and help my students progress through all five areas of reading: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary and Comprehension.

With your donation and support, you will be helping current students and future students learn to read with these decodable books and phonics system that is focused on small-group, skill-based literacy instruction.
