My Project

These products from Lakeshore Learning Store will help increase my students reading skills. Many of my students are English Language Learners who may need additional resources to help increase their reading fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. These products have shown to be effective in helping my students improve their reading abilities, along with showing success in their test scores.

Please consider donating to this cause.

I am a first-year teacher with very limited resources in my classroom and with this, will help build my resources for the coming years of being a teacher. My students will greatly appreciate all of the support. Thank you so much!
