My Project

As a dedicated pull-out reading interventionist, I work closely with first and second grade students who need extra support to become confident, lifelong readers. Small group instruction is where I can provide personalized, focused teaching that meets each child’s unique learning needs. To make these sessions truly effective, I need high-quality, engaging materials that support essential skills such as phonics, sight word recognition, and reading fluency.

With your generous support, I can provide hands-on tools and interactive games that transform learning into a meaningful and effective experience.

Items like dry-erase Expo markers, dice, and clear plastic sleeves will allow my students to practice critical reading skills with confidence.
