My Project

As an educator working with Title 1 special needs students, I understand the critical importance of providing tailored resources that foster learning and engagement. The items I am seeking through DonorsChoose will significantly enhance my students' reading skills and overall literacy development.

The Wilson Reading System materials, including the Student Readers and Letter-Sound Cards, are designed to meet the specific needs of struggling readers.

These resources utilize a structured, multi-sensory approach that helps students grasp fundamental reading concepts at their own pace. The Magnetic Journal with Letter Tiles will further support hands-on learning, allowing students to visualize and manipulate sounds, which is essential for developing phonemic awareness.

The Fundations Classroom Poster Set and Sound Cards provide visual aids that reinforce learning in a clear and engaging manner. These materials will create a vibrant classroom environment that encourages students to participate actively in their learning process.

Access to these resources is particularly vital for my students, who often face additional challenges in traditional learning settings. By equipping my classroom with these specialized tools, I can foster a more inclusive and supportive learning atmosphere, ultimately helping my students build confidence and achieve literacy goals. Your support in funding these essential materials will make a meaningful difference in their educational journey and empower them to succeed. Thank you for considering this important cause.
