My Project

The requested resources will help my students develop the foundational skills essential for learning to read. Small-group literacy instruction is such a pivotal point in our day. This is a time where students can get more individualized instruction to support their needs in literacy. With requested materials like CVC word puzzles, handwriting support, and alphabet resources, students can better develop the skills that they need to become successful readers. I have requested literacy resources that cover a wide range of skills from beginning phonemic awareness to digraphs, to ensure that all of my students needs are being met. I want to enhance the time that I spend with each student during small-group instruction, and ensure that they are getting the most out of this time.
