My Project

My students are kind, hardworking, striving readers! They love to learn and are excited to read new books. The science of reading suggests students benefit from explicit phonics instruction and authentic application of taught skills through decodable texts. These decodable books will accelerate each student's learning by allowing them to practice targeted phonics patterns in fun stories. Having access to books that my students can be successful with, will boost their confidence as readers and help them break the code of reading! Please help my students have new books to love!
