Power Up Our Reading!

Help me give my students Power Pens and cards to practice reading skills

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Skelton's classroom raised $197

This project is fully funded

My Project

These tools will be used to help my students practice foundational skills to help them gain confidence, comprehend important reading passages, and become better readers and learners. These items allow me to differentiate learning in small group settings. The students love using the Power Pens and taking ownership of their learning while getting immediate feedback. The cards cover a variety of skills such as short vowels and digraphs.

The Power Pens are the perfect way to keep my students interested and engaged in learning while building their fluency and reading skills.
