Soar High With Reading

Help me give my students the best opportunity to learn how to read in a fun, safe environment. The resources I have chosen are for furniture and snack items to use for reading reward goals.

My Project

I will be starting a reading intervention program for the school district. It will be for students grades K-5. Students will be working in small groups all day long. I will be working on target skills they are struggling with.

I will be working with the Special Education team and all teachers who need some extra intervention to increase reading levels for all struggling students.

I need supplies for reading skills, I need furniture and teaching tools.

I chose snacks for my class for the following reasons:

I let my students choose a snack when they meet their weekly reading goals. I have used this reward system for years and it works great.

Several children come to school hungry so I will provide snacks for them to eat.

The items that are requested will help to achieve students overall reading goals and to maintain my classroom.
