My Project

The specific items I am requesting, such as bilingual dictionaries, decodable books, and hands-on phonics practice, will provide my students with diverse and engaging resources. The dictionaries will help students make connections between their native language and English. The decodable books will help students read in small groups or by themselves to improve their fluency in English.

My goal for this project is to improve the reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills of my students.

I aim to create a resource-rich environment that promotes learning in English. My students are special to me because I can relate to them as a teacher whose second language is English and has a passion for teaching different diverse groups.
