My Project

My students are excited to learn how to read! Young students learn best through hands-on materials. I am asking for items that will help me organize and store games as well as materials that will be engaging when learning how to read. I am not a worksheet teacher, and I know my students do not learn and retain information when presented that way.

These materials will be used for daily reading instruction as well as their free choice center play.

I am excited to print new materials that will be used as games during small group instruction. After new lessons are mastered, the materials are then placed out for play during free-choice time. Please help support my students in learning how to read!
