My Project

This project is inspired by the students in my class who may need some additional resources to help them learn their sight words. I teach life skills and my students need different resources available to learn the content. Knowing their sight words helps in so many ways, including with reading confidence, reading fluency, and their accuracy, for example. The resources will help students continue to learn their sight words at home with their families in fun and meaningful ways.

Becoming a sight word master and knowing all of their sight words will help students in so many ways!

I am requesting a multitude of items including flashcards, flashcard holders, and binder rings to help boost my students' success with their sight words overall. Students would use these items to help reinforce their sight word knowledge. I want to ensure all students gain the most out of this year possible to help make this the best year yet for them! I want my students to become confident and strong readers. Knowing their sight words will help a great deal! They will make a huge difference in the lives of my students! The boys and girls will be very appreciative of their new sight word resources to use at both home and school. My students' education is important but so is their overall well-being. Take care! Thank you for your time and support of my students!
