My Project

The pandemic hit my class really hard. At the most influential time in their learning, they were at home. Many of my students are still learning their sounds and how to blend words. This makes it really challenging to work on third-grade material even if they know the concepts. How do you get them to love reading when they can't?

My students need materials to practice sight words and sound that they will need to break apart and read more significant words.

My students are so willing to learn and are excited when they see the growth that they have made. The best thing in the world is when their eyes brighten up because they finally get it! I am hoping these materials will help them feel successful in their reading!
