Help My Students Learn To Read!

My students need a Listen & Learn Phonics Activity Program with rack storage, CD/cassette player, jack boxes, and 8 headphones.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Witter's classroom raised $588

This project is fully funded

I teach kindergarten at a Title I school. With recent budget cuts finding extra money for supplies is not likely. I want to provide my students with opportunities that can help them learn to read in a fun way.

Please help me help students learn how to read. I have several students that want to read books that are beyond their reading levels. They love to hear me read and they follow along well. I want to use the listening center to provide them with the opportunity to listen to those books on tape while I am working with other students. Why limit them to only what they can read and not what they are interested in.

I need a CD/cassette player, headphones, and a listen and learn phonics program to help spark students interest in reading and gain a love for reading like I have.

You will make it possible for my students gain a love for reading. A listening center provides students with endless possibilities such as reading books, playing games, making word connections, and much more!
