My Project

My students are a beautifully diverse group of children who love to learn about the world around them. As beginning readers, they are developing their oral language and love to talk about what they are reading. Through read alouds and shared writing, my students are developing key skills that will support their reading. In addition, these students need hands on materials and decodable texts to keep in their book boxes in order to practice new skills they are taught each day.

These activities are highly engaging and support learning acceleration in my youngest readers!

The materials will be used to build students phonological awareness. The decodable books serve as a key component for students to apply their knowledge of explicit phonics instruction. Having many sets available ensures that all students are taking a step towards becoming more fluent readers.
