Reading: Magic at Work

Help me give my students games and manipulatives to help them learn more about literacy!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Williams's classroom raised $493

My Project

I work with a wonderful bunch of 3rd grade students who love to read and look at books. Because of this, I want to be able to give my students access to materials that give them more hands-on opportunities to learn about literacy. I also want to help my students who are more hesitant about reading as well. Games and tactile experiences are such a fun way to get kids learning without them feeling like they are really learning. I want my students to know the magic of reading awaits them each and every day!
