My Project

I am a reading intervention teacher at a highly diverse school. This means I pull small groups of students throughout the day and give them targeted instruction at their level. I have the pleasure of teaching a great group of 4th and 5th graders in their reading journey. These hardworking and enthusiastic students need support in reading. They are all reading well below grade level. We work on phonics, letter sounds, and sight words every day for 30 minutes. In addition to the curriculum we use, I would love to have books that supplement and enhances their education.

These students need books where they can sound out the words and read with confidence.

Having these decodable books will improve their reading skills and allow them to find the joy of reading!
