My Project

The Lakeshore Phonics Skill-Building Book Sets - Complete Library for Beginning Readers, Phonics, and Science of Reading will provide my students with engaging, research-based resources that are essential for building foundational literacy skills. These books focus on phonics, decoding, and comprehension strategies aligned with the Science of Reading, which is proven to help early readers succeed.

My primary goal is to cultivate strong foundational literacy skills in my students, empowering them to become confident, independent readers.

I want to enhance their phonics and decoding abilities while promoting a love for reading that will carry them through their academic and personal lives. My students thrive when given hands-on, engaging resources, and they have a genuine love for discovering new things.
