My Project

Every student deserves a voice, but finding the right key to unlock it requires diverse, specialized tools. In our speech and literacy sessions, a "one size fits all" approach simply doesn’t work. I am seeking a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to access clinician-authored materials that bridge the gap between spoken language and reading success.

These funds will provide interactive phonological awareness activities, visual supports for non-verbal learners, and high-interest literacy units tailored to diverse needs.

By moving beyond generic worksheets to evidence-based, creative resources, we can make therapy engaging and effective. Your support empowers my students to communicate, read, and thrive.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
