My Project

Many of my students are entering 3rd grade with some missing reading foundational skills! In order to better support their learning of 3rd grade content, my students need additional support in early childhood skills and concepts.

These materials will help our targeted Intervention Students tackle phonics and phonological skills, and will provide them with daily support to help them feel confident and successful with tackling the 3rd grade!

The books will be used daily with the students who are below benchmark. They will support and push them closer to access the 3rd grade reading content. This is essential for mastery in reading.

Moving to a new grade can be added pressure, especially when they struggle with educational reading gaps. We want them to be their best and use their strengths to make gains and improvements. We encourage all our students to reach their individual goals, and having these books and supplies will foster their eagerness to learn and be the best version of themselves. Many students put so much effort in during small group, one and one conferencing and individual reading, so we, their teachers, want to provide them materials that empower and affirm their capabilities!
