My Project

Project READ means Reading Enhancement to Address Diversity is an innovative strategy to address the needs of the learners particularly in their reading and writing among SPED learners.

The items requested with help the teacher and the learners in their reading and writing activity to achieve the goals of the day and eventually it will help them increase reading performance and interests.

With the stakeholders collaboration,I believe that this will augment additional expenses expenses and a save for other important projects to be used in day to day class activities.This initiative will also encourage learners and teachers to increase and deepen their drive of imparting their knowledge and skills believing that they are not alone in this quest, which is fulfilling the mission which is place in one’s shoulder.

Believing that collaboration is the key to success I am counting on your support and generosity to my first project here in the US.
