Reaching All Students for Reading Readiness

Help me give my students the materials needed for reading! A strong phonological awareness basis builds successful readers!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hummel's classroom raised $652

My Project

There is no time to wait when it comes to early literacy done the right way! With a background in the Science of Reading, these materials will help ignite all students on their path to reading success and meet them at their learning level. With the workbooks, teacher guides as well as the flash cards we will be set to learn all phonological awareness skills needed at the kindergarten level to pave the reading road!

Early intervention is key and we must start in kindergarten.

My plan as a speech-language pathologist is to push into our kindergarten classrooms with these materials to help pave the way for their learning success!

All students deserve reading lessons that meet them at their level!
