My Project

I would like hands-on materials and resources to support multi-sensory reading instruction. It is vital when learning to read to provide meaningful activities that students can practice their skills as they learn them.

Students will be actively engaged and interested in what we are learning.

They will have an opportunity to practice new skills in a multi-sensory way which is extremely helpful in getting the information mapped correctly in the brain. The LCD tablets and Montessori activities will be a fun way to get students involved in their own learning!
