My Project

I was so blessed to have some professional development funded for me and some of the books I have been reading talk about the different ways to help children with their reading skills. I have also been reading about student engagement.

All of these tools are going to help my students with their reading skills while helping them be engaged in their learning!

They have sound boxes where kids use chips to make the sounds and blend the words. I am asking for sound boards where they can decode and write words. I asked for little fidget pop it tools to help segment words!

I am seriously so excited to put all my learning into action and see how my students do!
