  • Soaring with Tutoring in Reading

    Funded Sep 18, 2024

    Having a charging station is a game-changer. It really helps to have devices ready for our after school virtual tutoring sessions.

    Virtual learning doesn't by any means replace being at school, as we found during our COVID shutdown time. But having a small dose for students after school helps engage them, as kids love variety when learning.

    They have been attending with eagerness and excitement. They also really have enjoyed their squishy toys as a small incentive for attending. Thank you again for your generosity and thoughtful gesture that will continue to help young students soar in reading.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Prieto

  • At-Home Learning and Beyond!

    Funded Oct 23, 2020

    I can't fully express how I feel to have been the grateful recipient of your incredible generosity.

    That said, the Okiocam has been amazing. It is so helpful to not have to awkwardly hold things up to the computer camera in order for students to see what I'm instructing them on. Students can follow my guided instruction with much more ease.

    Also, my magnetic board allows me to teach students phonological awareness skills using my magnetic chips and mats, among other things. I also draw our mascot owl on it as a background for school videos for all to enjoy.

    Thank you again and stay healthy.”

  • Readers Are Leaders!

    Funded Jan 3, 2020

    Your astounding generosity was definitely recognized by both me and my appreciative students. They become so incredibly excited when I declare, "Today we will use our phonics and sound games!"

    These activities truly reinforce the Foundational Skill lessons that I teach my students in a smaller group setting. During said lessons, I often mention components of these activities that they have become so familiar with in order to help them connect the lesson to the skill they put in practice when using them. That is when I often notice their "ah ha" moment.

    Now that we are having to deal with distance learning due to Covid-19, my students are definitely missing these activities. But we must forge ahead and help them as best we can in these unprecedented times. I do, however, expect my students to continue to enjoy my phonics and phonemic awareness activities for years to come, as I've trained students how to take good care of the materials to ensure their longevity. So, on behalf of those current students as well as those to come, we really thank you for your amazing act of kindness and hope that you are safe and healthy.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Prieto

Small group instruction is vital in today's classrooms. Our large class sizes make it impossible to meet their individual needs with a one-size-fits-all lesson, not to mention keeping them engaged. As a result, I must group students according to their needs and work with a group of no more than seven students at a time, tailoring my lessons to their literacy needs. How do I keep the other 21 students, who are not working directly with me, in my small group engaged and learning as well? Through the use of fun and skill-driven centers, of course! These center activities that revolve around phonemic awareness, which is a precursor to reading, will engage my students' attention and help them hone in on those important reading foundations while I work with a small group on decoding and important reading behaviors they must be taught so they may master the necessary literacy skills for their future success in life.
