My Project

Developing strong reading skills is an essential component to any child's education. Students in my class are striving to do just this. Our class is made up of junior high school students who are balancing learning disabilities with a passion to achieve academic goals.

Please support our reading class with novel sets, high-interest short stories and articles, reading games and other learning tools to inspire their growth.

The materials selected are high interest content at lower reading levels. I believe that becoming a strong reader begins, for all of us, with a love for reading. Our goal is to maintain interest, variety and fun while teaching the necessary foundational skills students need.

We would be grateful for your support.

Ms. Waltrip
Grades 6-8
