My Project
Please help me get my new excited and motivated to read second grade students this reading technology. The Power Pens and the Reading Skills Quiz Cards will help my students gain confidence in their reading skills because they will be able to practice these important skills in a fun and hands-on way. My students will love being able to use these power pen activities independently and in small groups so that they can learn, practice, and improve their reading skills.
These Power Pens and quiz cards will help enhance focus and motivation for reading.
With these power pens, my students will be able to check their work right away and see the questions that they got right and the ones that they got wrong. The power pen and quiz cards are engaging tools that allow more enthusiasm than just a worksheet but provide the same important skills that need to be learned. The power pen activities will allow me to spend time with small groups of students while knowing that learning is happening everywhere else in my classroom. My students will have a lot of fun working on these power pen activities. The quiz cards will help them excel in their reading skills and enjoy reading at the same time. Please consider donating to our project so that my students can have the power to read.
