My Students

My students are in a Title I school, and need exposure and access to a variety of resources and texts. They are eager to learn and ready to share their cultural identities with the world. Let's work together for student equity!

My Project

Students have been isolated from the world of literacy due to the pandemic and unfamiliar teaching and learning circumstances.

These products are designed to improve their reading fluency, stamina, letter-sound relationships, comprehension, writing, and vocabulary skills.

With access to these resources, students will have exposure to fiction and nonfiction texts, engaging games, activities, and centers to develop skilled literacy leaders.

Students can access these materials in the classroom and complete tasks independently or as a group for meaningful, informative literacy-based knowledge. This is an essential component in building strong, confident, independent young learners!
