Star Readers Coming Soon

Help me give my students decodable readers so they can develop their reading skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Santoy's classroom raised $298

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Kindergarten is a very important stepping stone in a child's education. It is where they begin their reading journey and learn to love it and embrace it.

These decodable readers will help them begin their reading learning and help them build that confidence to continue practicing.

They will be able to move from one level to the next with the variety that is being requested so they can continue moving on up without a lack of materials.

These upcoming Kinder students are our future, so we must make sure that they are getting the adequate education to be successful.
