My Project

My students are so unique and amazing in many ways! The students in my class all learn in different ways. They have made so much progress in reading. I would like materials that would help them learn to read high frequency and irregularly spelled words.

Please help my students with autism become more fluent readers.

Recognizing words by sight helps students become faster and more fluent readers. I would love to get these new materials that provide a more tactile approach to teaching sight words. Using these new materials would be very motivating for my students!
