My Project

I am starting a new adventure as a reading interventionist. My students have been struggling to learn to read.

I am requesting some fun and engaging activites to help spark students' interest in reading.

Some students need extra support while learning to read. I have requested a set of Splash reading readiness games to give students a fun and engaging way to practice rhyming, the alphabet, beginning, middle, and end sounds. My students would also enjoy the Lakeshore touch and read phonics word match. This will give students who are tactile learners a way to interact with and learn letters, sounds, and words.

Students also need a bookshelf to help keep books organized and easily accessible. Having a rotating book shelf will allow me an easy way to organize books and students an easy way to see all the books.
