My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. Science of Reading says when students read decodable books, they're more likely to try to decode—to sound out the words. Decodable text helps students practice phonics patterns we are learning in Kindergarten.

Research has found Reading is actually a Science.

The learning centers create a engaging, hands on activity that encourage inquiry based learning. Theses centers reinforce skills taught in reading and math. My students get excited when they successfully complete the activities in these centers!
