My Project

I am a reading intervention teacher who supports struggling readers. Learning to read is difficult for my students and does not come naturally to them, and I always strive to make students' time with me fun and exciting. It can be difficult to spend so much time doing something that is so hard, and my hope is that this project will supply my students and me with books and materials to help make the difficult task of learning to read fun! Building a lifelong love of learning and reading is a critical life skill, and I hope I can instill this in my students.
