My Project

My students are making so much progress in their reading! But it is still in need of a lot of development. I have a wide range of students when it comes to their academics. They love to participate and have fun, but when it comes to reading, they feel disheartened or scared to even try reading, because they don't feel up to the task. I aim to promote their confidence by giving them many opportunities to feel successful, as they read and sound out words, write words, and speak their opinions, answers, and thoughts in a fun way!

Help me give my students positive learning opportunities!

They have been negatively impacted by COVID-19 due to attendance issues, lack of internet connection, lack of electronics, and much more. These resources can improve their reading/phonics skills in fun ways, and build up their learning stamina.
