My Project

Over the past few years, many students have lost time in the classroom during critical years for reading mastery due to Covid. Some students have been fortunate enough to be able to come to school during hybrid learning, while others had no internet to log into virtual classes.

Even if they made it to class, critical phonics gaps were already accruing in their education.

This project hopes to address this problem by supplying my students with a fun and engaging way to learn basic phonics in class to catch up to the reading level of some of their peers.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
