Help me give my students reading and language hands on activities that they can do at home to reinforce previously learned skills or strengthen new skills they are acquiring as they learn at home.

My Students
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty urban school district, my scholars face daily challenges just getting to school. High crime rates, unemployment, and substance abuse issues are real problems facing many of my scholars as they enter the school building each morning. My scholars are often hungry and sleep-deprived because of the uncertainty and upheaval which is an ongoing cycle in their young lives.
COVID-19 has made learning even more difficult for my scholars who already face difficulties learning in a traditional classroom.
My students are already facing many learning challenges. Along comes COVID-19, and now they must learn at home. They have little or no access to technology or internet in their homes. The only learning that is able to take place is when the district supplies them with learning packets. We are unable to supply computers or internet to all students in the district.
It is unfortunate that my scholars are experiencing inequitable education at this time of COVID-19. Before COVID-19, many of my scholars would come into my classroom saying they had difficulty completing assignments or practicing new skills because of lack of supplies and resources. Now they really have a difficult time completing learning task.
My Project
The materials I have selected are around reading and language development. In order not to lose any new skills they acquired during the school year, my scholars need to have resources at home to practice these skills so they don't lose them as the days away from the classroom continue on for the foreseeable future.
Reading Comprehension, Phonics Activities, Alphabet Letters, and Vocabulary Games will allow my scholars to keep learning at home and practicing previously learned skills.
COVID-19 will not stop them from learning and continuing to be overcomers despite many obstacles that often prevent them from obtaining a great education.
