Help me give my students books featuring a favorite character like Pete the Cat and literacy materials to help encourage a love of reading and build interest in learning letters and words.

My Students
My students from Centerville, Ohio, are part of a literacy support program that helps struggling readers and writers gain the needed skills and strategies to become confident, independent learners.
Our students are enthusiastic, love to learn, have loads of potential, are diverse in many ways, and have some unique needs that keep me striving for fun and meaningful ways to accelerate their growth in reading and writing.
I thoroughly enjoy helping to foster a love of reading and writing that will benefit them for a lifetime.
My Project
Some emergent readers struggle with learning letters and high frequency words. I plan to use high quality literature and favorite characters like Pete the Cat to help make that learning fun!
Learning isolated skills like letters and words is always much more meaningful when connected to a favorite text.
I will use the books, games, and letter activities to help bridge their knowledge of skills and love of great stories. Kids will get to enjoy taking books, letter and word games, and stuffed animals home to share with their families! Parents will then have a better understanding of the way we help children connect their learning to books.
