My Project

I have requested items for classroom use to help with reader development. I am looking for resources on Teachers Pay Teachers to help students become more confident and more successful in reading. I have resources saved that are researched based and aligned with Science of Reading.

I am requesting items from Lakeshore, like magnetic letter tiles, to provide students hands-on learning while working on reading skills.

If students can spell a word, they are able to read the word. These items will be used during small group instruction and independent work.

For February, I plan on purchasing some resources from Teachers Pay Teachers for Black History Month. I have also requested books to be read for Black History Month.
