My Project

These books will go toward helping those students who struggle with learning to read. The overlays will be used in small group instruction to help students learn how to not be distracted by so many lines of text. The books will be used in small group reading to make sure all students have something that they can read while they are in the classroom.

I want to ensure all my students feel welcome and these books and activities will make sure that students will have resources that are just for them and their learning needs!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
