My Project

First grade is a critical year in a child's educational career. It's the year that they learn how to read and write. Learning how to read can be very challenging for some students, and I would like to get materials that would help to support those students.

By donating to this project, you will be giving my students multi-sensory materials to transform our phonics instruction.

These materials will give hands-on routines to improve their phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency and vocabulary lessons.

With these materials, students will be able to have hands on tools to give them the support needed to make progress in their reading. Students will be able to use these decoding skills to increase the words they read, which in turn will increase their comprehension.
