My Project

The pandemic has negatively impacted a lot of students' early learning, especially in reading. Our special education classroom is in need of new books to support our students in working hard with their reading skills. These kids work so hard and were really given a tough break during their early educational years. Struggling to catch up to their peers isn't as easy for them as it is for others. I really believe that having interesting topics at many different levels will help keep them motivated to keep working hard on their reading skills.
