Reading Can Be Hot!

Help me give my students some fun and exciting Hot Dot learning games.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cassidy's classroom raised $994

This project is fully funded

My Project

Reading Can Be Hot will help special education students who attend a general education classroom. The Hot Dot activity books will be used to help students strengthen their ELA skills.

The hands-on manipulatives and literacy Hot Dot games will help young learners to stay actively involved and interested in learning.

Students can use the books to independently read and have the books help sound out words and read to them without an adult hovering over them.

Students can practice reading independently and or with an adult. The variety will give many opportunities to learn and practice and most of all have fun!
