My Project

I'm part of the intervention team at a low-income school, where we work tirelessly to support K-5 students who need extra help in reading. To give our students the best chance at success, we need UFLI-aligned materials, especially decodable books, so they can apply their learning in a structured and effective way.

These resources will provide our struggling readers with the practice they need to build confidence and fluency.

Every donation brings us closer to equipping our students with the tools they deserve to succeed. Please consider supporting our young learners on their journey to becoming strong, independent readers!
