My Project

The students I work with work on reading strategies every day. They have many useful materials, such as word-building letters, whiteboards, dry-erase markers, and decodable books. To maintain student engagement, I like to incorporate meaningful games.

The reading games I am requesting will allow my students to practice their reading skills in a fun and purposeful manner.

Providing various opportunities for students to be engaged in their reading will ensure they build the necessary skills to progress. A game day will also act as a reward for good behavior when working on regular daily activities.
