My Project

My students are bright, creative, and full of potential. They come to school each day eager to learn and explore the world through reading and writing. The resources in this project, like picture prompts, decodable readers, and phonological awareness activities, will provide the targeted support they need to strengthen their literacy skills. These tools will help my students build a strong foundation in reading, vocabulary, and comprehension, which are essential for their academic growth.

With these materials, my goal is to create a learning environment where every student feels confident and motivated to become a skilled reader and writer.

The vocabulary bundles and fluency sets will expand their word knowledge and improve their reading fluency, while the picture prompts and writing activities will spark their creativity and enhance their writing abilities.

My students are special because they never stop trying, even when the work gets challenging. They are resilient, curious, and capable, and with these resources, they will have the support they need to reach their full potential.
