By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student reading skills, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. One area my students struggle the most with is reading. Having taught in other countries I know first hand how nerve wracking it is to try to overcome learning a new language and having the confidence to speak to native peers. The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We will use these materials to aide us in the process of becoming life-long readers. As the teacher, I took reading recovery classes in the primary grades and need your support to make this a reality. Thanks!
