My Project

I work at a Title One school in Anchorage, Alaska. We have a wonderful student body but many of the students struggle with their literacy skills. These resources will help me to help them!

All of these resources will help my students improve their literacy skills.

The letter tiles will be super helpful for spelling practice. The whiteboards are awesome for interactive lessons. The whisper phones are very helpful for my emerging readers who still need to hear themselves. The desk dots will be a fun and simple way for students to jot down information as needed. Headphones are absolutely essential so that students can get individualized support from our digital learning resources.
