My Project

These reading materials will be a great asset toward my literacy instruction! The two book sets are aimed for students who need fun and motivating books to choose. These resources will help them find books appropriate for their reading skills.

The phonics game and materials will allow my activities to be engaging for my students!

These will be fun and easily accessible when I need to work on these skills with my students.

I am very excited to use these in my classroom and any help is appreciated! Thank you!
