My students are eager and enthusiastic learners! They range in age from 5 years old to 7 years old, and are the smartest, most hard working kiddos I know. Our school is a neighborhood school, with a very multicultural clientele.
Our school, and my class, is made up of students of mixed ethnicity, gender, academic ability, physical and emotional ability, as well as socioeconomic status.
Our school is a Title 1 school, with a majority of our students needing Free and Reduced Lunch assistance. We use Full Inclusion principles in our school, and maintain that all students have a safe, nurturing, and excellent education.
My Project
The materials in this project are so important to helping my young first grade students learn to read. Phonics, the ability to decode words, is a crucial skill to developing reading skills. These materials would give my students access to specific decodable skills they are bering taught in class - so when they learn it, then can apply it! These books are explicit and systematic, allowing students to apply and feel successful when learning to read.
The decodable books and materials in this project are directly for student use during reading instruction and development, as well as two teacher resources to support me in delivering explicit instruction to my students.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
