My Project

These word-building boards, TPT gift cards, and other materials will allow my students to practice the academic skills that we work on regularly. By presenting material differently, students have a better chance of figuring out how they learn best and are more willing to practice these skills.

My students will have so much fun with these materials that they won't even realize they are learning.

It is so important that my students have material presented to them in different ways and that we involve multiple senses, if possible. This will increase their engagement and effort when working on things that are difficult for them.
