My students have a love for reading. Whenever they have the opportunity, they are asking for a book. I admire how hard they try to sound out words in the stories they choose! Many of my Kindergarten grade students struggle with phonics and are behind. They do not have access to many resources outside of school and that is one of the main reasons of their struggling. With this donation of a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card, I will be able to access materials that will help each student individually progress their phonics skills so that they can progress in literacy.
