My Project

My students are amazing scholars with a passion for learning. Many of my students are performing below grade level in literacy and these literacy games will give them the extra practice they need in reading skills while ensuring they are having fun! These games will be used during intervention time, as well as when students finish work early. Students will have the opportunity to reinforce skills from whole group instruction, independently. These games will also give my scholars the opportunity to hold discourse by learning literacy skills! They deserve this!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
