My Project

As an educator, I believe that comprehension is the key to becoming a confident, lifelong reader. However, many of my students need additional support in fully understanding what they read and developing the critical thinking skills necessary for success in school and beyond.

To help my students become better readers and thinkers, I am seeking support to provide engaging comprehension activities that will allow them to practice and strengthen their understanding of texts.

These resources will include interactive worksheets, graphic organizers, and leveled books that will encourage students to think deeply, make connections, and improve their ability to recall key details from the stories and texts they read.

With your support, I will be able to give my students the opportunity to engage with stories and activities that will not only improve their comprehension skills, but also inspire a love of reading. These activities will cater to various learning styles and provide valuable opportunities for differentiated instruction, ensuring that each student can work at their own level and develop at their own pace.

Your donation will make a real difference in helping my students become confident, independent readers who can analyze and understand texts with ease. Thank you for your generous support and for giving my students the tools they need to succeed!
