My students need Comprehension Activity Series, Close Reading Passages and Sight word games to develop comprehension and reading skills and make learning fun.
My classroom is structured for small group intervention. Students participate in extra activities that will enhance their learning and help to close the achievement gap. The goal is to be on grade level by the end of the year.
My students require additional academic support in order to decrease their achievement gaps.
Students meet in small groups and have varying levels of ability and are eager to learn and improve. I need materials that will allow my students the ability to engage actively in their lessons. I want to maintain the enthusiasm of my students while teaching important concepts and skills that will increase their academic success. We are a K-8 Montessori Magnet in a high poverty area. Through our services and teaching philosophy, our students are able to be successful and additional hands on materials for interventions would allow those who require additional support to reach their full potential.
My Project
Students in the classroom will receive direct teacher instruction in a small group or individually taught lessons. The activities and resources will provide for more active engagement while reinforcing the standards and skills necessary at their grade level. For example, the use of Close Reading Passages will allow students to select evidence from their stories to build comprehension skills. Sound it out Phonics Puzzles is a fun way for students to build words sound by sound. Highlight your skills reading cards is a great way to reinforce the idea of looking back into the text to support their answers. It also includes selections that are fiction and non-fiction. My students need support reading and understanding non-fiction text. The materials will provide much needed hands on experiences for students.
As a Montessori school, we value the idea that all students learn differently and at a different rate.
We want to provide our students with a variety of opportunities so that learning is meaningful to them. Our philosophy is expressed in the following quote, "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." Thank you for considering helping and supporting our students to understand the necessary skills needed to achieve academic success.
