My Project

These decodable readers will give my students the opportunity to increase their early reading and decoding skills. We will use them in small group literacy classes, as well as for individual reading time. They will be able to read a book that meets their current literacy skills and will increase their feelings of accomplishment as early readers.

My students are emergent readers and these books will enable them to read books at their individual reading level.

They are learning new decoding and phonics skills and these books will enhance their learning and make them word wizards!
