My Students

I work with students in grades 3-5 who are diagnosed with autism. They are the sweetest group of students and are so hardworking! These students are so special in that all they want is to succeed and show you what they can do.

These students are working so hard to progress in their goals!

My students are motivated to learn and become independent!

My Project

Some of these materials are going to help my students with their specific IEP goals. They are going to learn and grow in their reading centers and be able to gain more independence. These materials will help the students become more confident learners and readers. The flip books and word family readers will give them the confidence to keep reading and learn more words to read other books. The writing books will allow them to flip through and watch how they grew over the year with their writing. They want to grow and learn and this will help them!
