Success in Reading

Help me give my students supplies to use as they learn to read.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Simon's classroom raised $417

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are from a low income school and many of them speak more than one language. I work with a group of 20 students in reading for 90 minutes a day. These students are behind in reading and the goal is to help them become confident readers.

The students need to become organized so they don't waste time finding things when they could be learning to read.

Our reading program is Success for All part of the program is to help low readers with the phonics they need to decode. We have the program, now I just need the supplies to help the students be successfull.
