My Project

I work with struggling readers in small groups all day. I would like to motivate them to read at home by providing new books to take home to read. Unfortunately, most students don't read books at home.

I would like to give these books to them as they learn new sets of high-frequency words.

The highlighters will help my students focus on the phonics skills just learned, and the small prizes will encourage them to come to class and work hard! Thank you so much for your generous support in my classroom!
