My Project

Reading with fluency is very important. Making sure that vocabulary is readily available and accessible to all students is also vital. Reading is the key to unlock and understand the world and all of its possibilities. Opportunities are closed off to students who struggle to read and comprehend meaningful information.

Students have to learn so many different definitions and concepts in their classes, being specific to their subject matter.

My students struggle with basic understanding of words and we are working on learning structurally and using new words and their meanings.
