My Students

My students are from a suburban school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our school is made up of kindergarten through sixth grade with approximately 400 students. The students I work with are in need of reinforcing their reading skills through the use of effective, research-based strategies to help build their literacy skills in phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.

When students are engaged, their learning is maximized!

I would like to immerse my students' learning through the use of guided readers to work on research based reading skills. The guided readers resource will help me to teach sight words, fluency, and comprehension skills in a consistent manner during such a challenging time for students.

My Project

Guided readers is an online teaching resource offering a structured approach designed for today's real and virtual classrooms. The program is a comprehensive program that fosters learning through 15- to 20-minute small group differentiated, instructional lessons. The lessons empower teachers by providing materials that will guide effective, streamlined activities to share with their students.

The lessons will take your students from"learning to read" to "reading to learn." The multi-level readers, lessons and activities are consistent, comprehensive and engaging.

During such a challenging time for students, Guided Readers Program will help my students to learn to read in an engaging and purposeful manner.
