My Project

A lot of my students are struggling readers. We come from a rural /low socioeconomic area in Kentucky that has recently been hit hard by flooding. We have missed a LOT of school because of this and I am looking for ways to keep my reading on track by finding engaging ways for them to participate in small reading groups on their level. These kids deserve to be caught up and on level while making reading fun! Please help me support their learning. Reading fingers and highlights will help keep them

Looking at words while colorful sight words and games will keep in engaged!
