My Project

The materials I am asking for are to help my class excel in reading. This year my class is split with two different levels. In my class I have several that don’t know all of their alphabet and sounds then I have the other half that are ready to start reading.

My class are needing a few beginner readers to help those that are ready to start reading.

While starting the early readers on books I also picked some things to try to help my lower level student get on level.
