My Project
I'm a special education teacher working with an amazing group of second graders who face unique learning challenges, including dyslexia. My goal is to provide them with engaging, hands-on workbooks and dyslexia-friendly tools that support their reading, writing, and overall learning. These resources will help build their confidence, strengthen foundational skills, and create a more inclusive classroom environment. With your support, my students can access the materials they need to thrive. Thank you for helping us make learning accessible and fun for every child!
Your generosity will make a lasting impact on their education and help them reach their full potential.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
