Learning to Read: One Letter at a Time

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Battcher's classroom raised $598

My Project

I teach kindergarten through 5th grade students with developmental delays or learning disabilities. My beginning readers are learning to read through Science of Reading methodology. This includes extensive phonics instruction using orthographic mapping and a specific scope and sequence.

I’d love to give my students the opportunity to practice specific phonics skills while reading books at their level.

My students often struggle to find interesting books that they can decode independently. My hope is that they will find success when reading these decodable books, and therefore find a love for reading.
