My Project

I have the unique privilege to teach students from all walks of life. Our multicultural class represents over five different home countries, eight different languages, and come from all different families. Those that haven't started to read yet join the classroom with so much potential to grow as readers. These materials will help students build upon their letters and sounds skills to help build upon their reading fluency. We will be using these games and tools in small groups, meeting students where they are at so that they can be successful readers and see that learning can be so much fun!
