My Students

I work with Kindergartners, First graders, and Second graders, teaching them different reading skills in small groups.

My students come to me with different reading needs- from those who simply need to know their letter names & sounds, to those who need help with phonics & blending those sounds to read words, and then those who are working on reading fluency & comprehension.

My goal while working with my students is to get them as close as possible to their grade level, in their reading skills. I want all of my students to feel confident while learning to read and while reading too!

My Project

The reading activities I picked out will help enhance my Title One classroom. I use a variety of teaching styles while teaching different reading skills to my students- dry erase boards, flashcards, worksheets, learning websites, and reading games/activities. I am always looking for more hands on reading activities to use with my students. My students really seem to enjoy learning this way the best!

These activities will make learning more fun while still incorporating important reading skills at the same time.

I know that students learn and pay attention better when they are having fun. So by donating to my project, you will not only help to improve their reading ability, but you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
