Help me give my students tools to help regulate their emotions so they can focus and be successful during our reading intervention block as well as rewards to reinforce their small steps towards success!

My Project
My students in grades Kindergarten through 5th grade come to me daily for small group reading intervention support. Reading is a struggle and frustration during the school day is common. In addition, many of my students carry outside stressors and instability with them each day. Time with me is often a safe place, where instruction is individualized and success, no matter how small, is celebrated.
The sensory tools will help them settle in to our time together and increase focus and the small rewards put a huge smile on their faces and encourage them to keep trying as they reach their “mini” goals.
Their resilience in the face of so many challenges impresses me each day and I hope you will consider supporting them.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
