My Project

I have a group of diverse letters in my classroom. That all require different things to access literacy. The implementation of text-to-speech pens and highlighters specifically benefits students with dyslexia, offering them enhanced reading capabilities. Additionally, the inclusion of braille materials serves to cater to the needs of students with visual impairments.

The aim of this project is to furnish my students with the essential resources necessary for unlocking their full potential in literacy.

By providing these diverse tools, I aspire to gift them not only with literacy skills but also with the means to independently navigate and engage with the curriculum. It's important to note that my students, all of whom have exceptionalities, rely on these resources to gain meaningful access to the curriculum, ensuring that they can thrive academically.
