Visual Supports to Learn and Talk

Help me give my students access to visual learning materials to support their language and communication.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sasaoka-Tam's classroom raised $213

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project will help me to create high quality and durable visual supports for my students to develop their language and communication skills. Many of my students lack the skills to effectively communicate their thoughts and feelings. The laminator will help me to make personalized visual supports for each student to support their communication.

Language is the foundation to reading and writing and my students who have language challenges also have difficulty with reading comprehension and writing.

The white boards and visuals will help support student learning in reading and writing as well as verbally communicating.
