Reading While Writing in Cursive

Help me give my students resources to build reading comprehension and cursive writing skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sessom's classroom raised $284

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students continue to struggle with reading comprehension. Having a game to help students have fun while reading while building comprehension skills, will help my students feel confident about reading and demonstrate understanding. Students will also gain the opportunity to learn how to write in cursive which is a skill that is necessary for our 21st century learners. Many students struggle with writing. Have an outline on what cursive writing looks like and giving them the tools to develop this skill will help them not only become better readers but writers as well.
