My Project

Children are naturally curious, and interesting and interactive books are the best way to satiate their curiosity and help them achieve academic success. Many of my students are struggling to close the academic gap created by their individual disabilities and for many, who are English Language Learners have the added struggle of learning the language.

Providing my students with fun workbooks and interesting books to read that teach and reinforce comprehension and phonics skills will make learning to read fun and exciting!

Reading books of various genres that utilize multi-modalities can open up a world of information, knowledge, and vocabulary that children from financially insecure homes are often not exposed to. Many struggling readers are more likely to improve their skills when motivated by fun prizes and fidget toys. A project with great books, workbooks, and motivating prizes is a recipe for success.
