Since I am an interventionist, the students I work with struggle with reading in one form or another. With my younger students, the struggles generally happen due to some disconnect with their phonic skills. By using various assessments, I am able to find the skills they struggle with and use my knowledge to help them better understand how to use letter-sound code to help them read. Phonic readers, like the ones you helped fund, go a long way to helping students fill learning gaps. Each decodable book provides practice on the specific skill we are working on, along with providing practice on previous skills. These books are the vital piece students need to practice and build confidence in reading!\r\nAfter receiving these books, I started adding them to our lessons right away. Students now come in asking if we are going to be reading a new book each day!
