My Project

I strongly believe all students deserve quality literacy instruction. As we learn more, we do better for our students.

Literacy for all means all students have access to quality literacy instruction.

The materials are to shift gears into the science of reading. These materials will allow for small group, whole group, and independent literacy practice.

The rainbow drawer towers are to help students to be organized with their literacy materials and have access to materials in an organized manner!

To create successful learners, we need successful materials. Through instruction with intentional materials, and access for all, we are creating successful learners that love learning.
