Multi-Sensory Reading Intervention

Help me give my students sensory infused literacy tools that will be used to close the reading gaps!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nicole Amen-Ra's classroom raised $720

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are at a title 1 school, that is currently struggling in the way of literacy. Many of my students come to me at a pre-K or kindergarten reading level while they are in the third grade. This summer I took specialized training in Orton Gillingham with sensory input to better assist my students with these large gaps. I am now looking to obtain some of these sensory tools to use with my training. We will use these materials in our small group for reading intervention. As students read and listen, they are also able to feel and touch, helping to put the skills to memory.

Please help by providing sensory-infused literacy tools (great for English as a Second Language students) that will be used during our small group and guided reading lessons.

These tools are all-encompassing, and useful to students who are ESL, dyslexic, have fine motor difficulties, processing delays, as well as struggling readers. Please help make a difference in these kids' lives by providing them resources that will close literacy gaps that are detrimental.
