Small Group Reading

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Wahid's classroom raised $198

My Project

Daily we spend an hour engaged in small group reading centers. This is where I pull students, in groups of 4-6, and teach them how to read and write.

We are requesting a variety of tools that will make learning to read and write fun!

We need magnetic tens frames to help students count the sounds in a word. These boards are dry erase so students can also write the corresponding letters. So, we need erasers too. We need whisper phones so students can whisper read to themselves. We need pencil grips that teach students how to properly grasp a pencil. The reading tools are highlighted sticks that help students to track words while they read. All of these items will be color coded and compiled in the mesh zipper bag. These items will make small group reading fun!
