My Project

This year I am teaching literacy to small groups of children. Their needs are varied- some need decodable texts, some need spelling and sentence writing practice, and some need to focus on specific skills like short vowels.

All of my students come to me with a literacy need.

That need is best served in a small group, and I'd like to have the tools needed for my students. The marker boards will allow my students to practice writing words that they can easily erase if they make a mistake. I've included games because my students LOVE playing games (and learning at the same time!)

My goal with this project is to give my students the tools they need to be successful in literacy.
