My Project

My 2nd and 3rd-grade students are eager about reading, but many struggle with reading confidently and fluently due to multiple learning and intellectual disabilities. Decodable books will provide them with the structured practice they need to build foundational skills, such as phonics, decoding, and comprehension.

These books are designed to align with their specific learning needs, offering texts they can successfully read while applying the strategies we work on daily.

With access to these engaging and appropriately leveled resources, my students will gain the confidence and skills to become independent readers. Your support will help bridge the gap for struggling readers and spark a lifelong love of reading!
