My Project

I am a reading specialist in a rural school district. During small group intervention, I use a variety of hands on activities. Resulting in an effective, multisensory experience.

I will use the phoneme phones to help struggling students hear themselves as they individualy whisper read text, the whisper phones will discover a heightened listening experience.

This will aid the student to master pronunciation.

The Sorting Owls will help make students practice to distinguish long from short vowels with engaging picture cards.

I love seeing the progress my students make with direct instruction on reading and a multisensory approach!
