My Project

Please help us give students the gift of literacy. We have been working to improve literacy in our school. Teachers are all going through Science of Reading training and we have adopted programs that are grounded in research to teach students to read. Students are learning skills to help them become good readers and writers. We need whiteboards and letter tiles to help students practice the skills they are being taught in daily lessons. Students will use the boards to write letters- to build words and practice irregular words. The letter tiles will be used for word chaining activities which help students practice their reading and writing.

Thank you for helping us give students the gift of literacy!
