My Project

It has been proven that students thrive with hands-on learning. Our school does not have many manipulatives for ELA. This project would give my students the opportunity to grow as readers and meet their goals as they progress through our Accelerated Reader program over the course of the school year.

These ELA materials will enhance student engagement, support diverse learning styles and promote critical thinking through interactive learning.

This will help me to create a dynamic learning environment where my students develop confidence and a strong foundation for reading while setting them up for future academic success.
