My Project

The books and materials from this project will help support my students with their reading skills. All of the students I work with are striving readers who are working on phonics, fluency, and comprehension skills. These books will support students to be more successful while reading independently.

My students will use the materials and books to increase their independent reading skills, while building their phonics, fluency, and comprehension skills.

The goal of this project is to give my students books that are age appropriate and within their reading level, in order to increase their overall reading skills.

Grades 6-8
