My Project

By having the right materials for my students, it will allow them to grow academically. The goal is to spark interest in reading for my students. We are at the point where the students are now ready to apply their letter recognition, letter sounds, and sight words to reading short sentences and stories.

What makes my students special is seeing the excitement in their faces as they learn.

They are excited to learn new words and can sound out CVC words. In addition, seeing sight words that they have learned makes their learning more fun.
