My Project

In my classroom, small group reading instruction is a critical part of how I meet the diverse learning needs of my students. During these sessions, students work in focused, supportive groups where they can build foundational literacy skills in a way that’s tailored to their individual progress.

To make these small groups effective, I’m requesting basic but essential supplies: paper for printing reading group books, highlighters for decoding and identifying key words, and dry erase markers for phonics practice on whiteboards.

These tools will help my students actively engage with texts, strengthen their reading fluency, and build confidence in their phonics skills.

With your support, I’ll be able to create customized learning materials and give my students hands-on tools that make reading instruction more interactive and effective. Your generosity will directly impact my students' growth as readers and lifelong learners.
