My Project

I love how hard working all the students are at my school. They are readers, writers, and mathematicians. They are scientists and global learners.

These materials will aide teachers in meeting the important needs of children learning to read.

Phonemic Awareness is one of the imperative 5 areas of reading instruction, and it is often the least taught. To fill the reading gaps, we need to meet all needs in all 5 areas of reading.

These resources will allow me to work with students at every level. These resources are explicit in teaching children kindergarten through 5th grade fill in the missing holes from lost instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic.
