My Project

My students struggle to love and even at times like reading. With these reading games, I plan to make reading fun again. Students should have a love for reading and not hate it. It is such an important part of our lives and for them to hate it makes it difficult for them to complete assignments. Giving my students the ability to use reading games will promote a healthy wellness in reading and improve their feelings around reading. It is all about a mindset and giving these students a healthy mindset on reading is what will help change how they view reading in the future.

Let's make reading fun again, by bringing reading games into the classroom!

I would love your help in bringing the Hasbro Boggle Classic Game, Context Clues Game, Drawing Conclusions, Tile Lock Scrabble, Word Teasers, Tapple Word Game, SpellChecked game, 100 Scholastic task cards, and headphones with microphones built in so they are about to talk to text on the computers. For students who have a difficult time reading, writing, and spelling these headphones will come in so handy for them. It will give them a piece of independence that they once lacked.

With your help, we can make reading fun again. Thank you for all of the generosity that you have shown my students and classroom. We are grateful for your consideration in donating to our classroom.
