My Project

Would you like to know what makes my kids special? To know them is to love them. These kids have a fire in them to learn and to read, and they never give up. Many of the students that I work with don't come from homes where the families are able to help them with reading skills at home. Money is tight, lives are busy, and sometimes reading just isn’t a priority. Reading is hard for them and many come to me hating to read. There is nothing more powerful than opening the door for a child to become a reader and letting them see that they can achieve their goals.

I know my little readers will be leaders someday, so I want to make sure they have the materials that they need to achieve their dreams.

Please help me give my students engaging and fun games to practice the phonics skills we are working on. The students will play these games along with the lessons that we will do with them all week focusing on the same skill. They will really help to keep the students engaged.
