The Price TAG for Reading = Priceless! Leap Frog Tag US!

My students need two classroom Tag Readers, with storage and 15+ books.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Radke's classroom raised $549

This project is fully funded

My Students

Leap Frog Tag Readers combine two great learning opportunities, reading and technology! My kindergarten students would LOVE using these and they would increase their reading abilities. Learning should be fun! Leap Frog has created a product that is full of fun and enriches their reading experience.

I love my students.

They are amazing! I teach in a diverse, high poverty magnet school. Kindergarten is full of so many learning opportunities and experiences, but the most important is learning to read. Reading is the foundation for all learning. It is pivotal that children are strong readers early in their academic career. Utilizing curriculum extension, such as the Leap Frog Tag system, enriches their learning experiences and can be so much fun!

My Project

My students need two classroom Tag Readers and books. These resources will be used in our Literacy Centers. Anything we can use to help our students become great readers is priceless! If you help purchase these, they will not only benefit my students this year, but for many years to come. I am only a second year teacher so I have many years ahead of me, as well as many materials still needed for my students.

The cost of funding this project, a few hundred dollars.

The cost of creating STRONG Kindergarten readers = PRICELESS! Tag us for SUCCESS please! Thank you in advance for considering blessing my students with such wonderful resources.
