My Project
Hello! I am a speech language pathologist in an elementary school in Chicago. I work with over 60 students, many of whom have complex communication needs. My students are kind, curious, loving children who deserve the best!
With this project I will be able to bring the love of reading to all students, even those who are nonverbal or minimally verbal.
I will use the Teachers Pay Teachers gift certificate to download adapted books for my students with the most complex needs which I will then laminate and bind. Adapted books have words or pictures that the students can manipulate and this helps engage them in the books and reinforce reading skills. I will also use the poke the dot books and lift the flap books to encourage students' attention and participation.
Thank you for supporting my students' language and literacy! Everyone can learn to read and love it!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
