These materials were carefully thought out and are aligned with my students' Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goals. The materials are interactive and can be presented both digitally and on paper, depending on each student's learning style. Materials are also presented at varying levels allowing for differentiation and growth within the same lesson. \r\n\r\nThese materials are engaging which helps hold the attention of my students. When my students are engaged this is when we see the most progress. I have already seen steady growth when using these materials! \r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting my project!
