My Project

My students need materials to accelerate their growth in reading. I would love to give my students books that are at their reading levels. This project would give the students a chance to learn to read sight words and see the words that they are learning in books. Student will be more confident reading. I have a self-contained classroom and the majority of my student have Autism and/or Intellectual Disabilities. We are a diverse group of students. They will be excited about the new books and materials that reflect our diverse classroom.
