Say YES to Foundational Reading Skills

Help me give my students access to literacy centers! These fun and engaging centers give my students much needed practice with foundational reading skills. Having center materials printed in color will help my students with visual engagement.

My Students

Welcome to my classroom of 16 2nd graders. 100% of my students receive free and reduced lunch and over half live in public housing. The majority of my students are being raised by single parents or even grandparents and great grandparents. Despite my student's struggles, they are eager to learn and get very excited when it comes to school. For many, school is the one thing that is consistent in their lives and they love it! This year has been an exceptionally challenging year for my students as we are learning to navigate distance learning.

My goal is to expose my students to as many experiences as possible.

I hope to enrich their lives and create a passion within them for life long learning. I also hope to prepare them for a successful future by giving them the skills and creativity they need to compete in the world.

My Project

My students need lots of practice with foundational reading skills. I am looking for supplies to build fun and engaging literacy centers through the use of a color printer, card stock, lamination and some basic office supplies.

The more meaningful opportunities I can provide my students to practice their skills, the faster they will become readers and ready to take the next steps in their learning journey.

These materials will allow me to both replace and expand on the literacy materials I already have and help me to get my students excited about their learning!
