My Project

My students need support in making reading gains so that reading to learn becomes easier as their texts become more challenging. The items on my list are to support these students needs. The phonics tiles and elkonin boxes, for example, are ways to help provide multisensory intervention for students, which is supported by research. I will be using intervention methods supported by the since of reading, so any donations you make will be supporting a child's reading development. By having these resources, students will be receiving more intensive and interactive, and effective reading intervention, which in turn should allow them to make more gains towards their reading ability.
