My Project

We are making a shift to make our reading instruction based on the Science of Reading. Students will spend more time engaged in phonics and phonemic awareness instruction in small groups with teacher support and in learning centers.

This project will provide necessary materials for students to engage in learning sound and spelling relationships, decoding strategies, and reading fluency.

The requested materials will allow us to use multisensory techniques and to offer activities that engage readers’ visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile senses and abilities. These approaches to reading instruction have proven to be the most effective strategy for children who have difficulties learning to read.
