My Project

The Dry Erase Markers, Lowercase Alphabet Chips, Lowercase Magnetic Letters and other materials will help my students learn to read and have fun while doing it. They include up to date materials that are proven to help students understand how to decode words from CVC words to multisyllabic words. My students start by learning their letters and progress through to reading decodable text for a second grader.

Reading is the foundation for all other skills.

A student that has a solid foundation for reading will be more successful in their school years. That is my goal for all of my students. The materials in this project are to help foster these skills. My students struggle with these skills and require one on one instruction to improve their skills and be a confident reader!
