My Students

Being a Reading Intervention Teacher, I have the privilege of working with students across all of the grade levels at my school! The students can be characterized as kind, loving, and hardworking.

They are an amazing group of students who want to do well and be successful.

We are a school of about 300 students. We strive to provide a safe, caring learning environment. The students at my school are eager to learn and grateful for innovative ways to grow!

My Project

My students love to learn about reading awareness and sounds in playful, hands-on ways! Phonemic awareness is one of the best predictors of how well children will learn to read during the first two years of school instruction. Phonemic awareness in children can be developed through rhyming books and hands-on activities that manipulate sounds in words.

Rhyming books bring lots of smiles to my students as they hear sounds used in musical ways.

The materials I have chosen will give my students the opportunities to experience and explore sounds in ways that will help them develop as strong, excited readers!
