Readers Today Leaders Tomorrow

Help me give my students a chance to master the skill of reading through the use of differentiated phonemic awareness and decodable materials. These materials enable my students to work in small groups, with a partner and independently.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

More and more we are realizing that students are moving up grade levels missing foundational reading skills. These materials will support me in providing students that have fallen through the cracks and reached 3rd grade still missing basic literacy skills. This upcoming school year only 26% of our 3rd graders are reading at or above grade level. For the past 15 years I have taught middle school and each year students would come to me not being able to read. I decided to change that and moved to the elementary level. As a middle school teacher I have many resources that I have put together throughout my career. However, with this new transition I must build up my resource “toolbox” and hope that you are able to help me on this new endeavor. Since I know that only 26% of my students are reading at or above grade level I am going to spend a bulk of my time focusing on building their literacy skills. The materials I am requesting for this project would allow me to create literacy centers with researched based materials so I can spend more time focused on providing small group direct instruction. Please consider supporting this project because we can help create readers today that will become our leaders tomorrow.
