My Project

The selected resources were chosen for continued support for my K-2 students who need extra support with reading and writing. Gaining these resources will provide learning opportunities to increase letter recognition and identification of sounds, help to improve writing of words and sentences using spacers for proper writing mechanics, and examples of how to structure sentences.

The books will help focus on learning how to decide and read magic e words and vowel team words.

The laminator will help support the students by creating resources that can be shared amongst students and reused. My students are amazing and deserve to have resources to support their academic learning!!
