My Project

As instructional small group teachers, we work with every student from grades 1st to 2nd. They all work hard and love to read, please help them get some leveled readers and buddy readers to help them work in small groups. They are all so ambitious and caring, we want them to be able to read and enjoy what they read in buddies or groups. Please help us get different levels of readers in multiple copies to allow us to work in groups together. We also are asking for a TPT gift card to buy books to print and send home to students to help practice their reading at home. Thank you for your support!
