My Project

Learning to read does not always have to be black and white. Learning to read and comprehend can be fun! Our students participate in the W.I.N (What I Need) program which provides them with a small group setting in which they learn how to encode, decode, and sharpen their comprehension and fluency skills in reading.

With learning games like Scrabble, Boggle and Pirate Context Clues, our students will think they are just playing a game but in reality, they are actually learning.

There are also incentives to motivate students to strive to become better versions of themselves. This is why we are also asking for brownies!

With your generous donations, we can provide these learning tools for our Title I students.
