My Project

I want to ensure that my first-grade students receive the best possible reading instruction. My students are working hard at learning to read and are in need of adding some additional science of reading resources to our classroom.

These materials are research-based and are proven to help students who are beginning to read.

They will use these materials to build reading knowledge and help them become lifelong learners and readers. These new academic resources will be the perfect addition to my small group reading instruction and are sure to help them reach their reading goals.
