Our reading intervention students in grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade need engaging, hands-on activities and games that make learning to read both effective and fun. These materials will support small group instruction by helping students build confidence with letter sounds, blending, segmenting, decoding, and reading fluently.\r\n\r\nThese materials will be used during small group intervention lessons to provide differentiated instruction tailored to each student's needs.\r\nReading intervention students need targeted support to strengthen the foundational skills necessary for reading success. Many students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade are still developing critical phonological awareness and fluency skills, which are essential building blocks for becoming confident readers. Through engaging games, interactive activities, and hands-on learning tools, students will receive meaningful practice in skills such as rhyming, syllables, phoneme manipulation, blending sounds, decoding words, and reading with accuracy and expression.\r\n\r\nBy turning learning into a fun and interactive experience, students are more motivated to participate, take risks, and build confidence in their reading abilities. The games and activities will also encourage collaboration, communication, and positive learning experiences while helping students close learning gaps and improve literacy skills.\r\n\r\nYour support will help provide struggling readers with the tools they need to become successful, confident learners both inside and outside the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1780062810053,"projectUrl":"project/helping-struggling-readers-shine/10305457/","projectTitle":"Helping Struggling Readers Shine","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ross","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7735201_orig.jpg?crop=306,306,x723,y25&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1612810934274","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7735201"},{"teacherId":7099643,"projectId":10336909,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our DonorsChoose project!
