Help me give my students "Explode the Code" teacher and student intervention program along with some colored ink, Mr. Sketch markers and white cardstock to create academic reading games.
My school is a rural, Title I school in Tennessee where poverty is high and experiences are limited. These students are pushed every day to achieve high levels of academic excellence, and they work hard daily to achieve our rigorous expectations.
"Reading takes us to Infinity and Beyond," is a quote on my Toy Story themed door that students see every time they enter and exit.
I believe in my learners and want to help them become excellent readers and writers.
My Project
As a reading interventionist, I am constantly on the search for materials to make a difference in student reading. "Explode the Code" is a reading intervention program that follows the teaching of Orton Gillingham. It is my goal to have these materials to further assist students in reading and attaining skills necessary to decode words.
Students who struggle to read need many multisensory methods to enable reading success.
It is my goal to provide hands-on learning in a fun and engaging manner at all times. These materials will help students learn to decode words and practice necessary skills as well. The markers, ink, and cardstock will be used to make teacher-made materials to help students practice skills.
