My Project

The items I am asking for, two tablets, whisper phones, and a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card, will allow for my many different reading intervention students to have personalized instruction that meets their current goals and builds their understanding of the foundations of reading. Our campus has students who speak a wide variety of languages at home. It is essential that I am able to meet them where they are at in their journey of learning to read, write, and speak English.

Through your support my students will have access to virtual programs that align with the Science of Reading research that has proven to be successful in helping all students learn to read.

The majority of learners who enter my classroom land somewhere on the dyslexia spectrum. It is my goal to celebrate their differences and create opportunities for them to feel encouraged and accomplished on their journey to read.
