My Project

As an educator dedicated to fostering a love for reading, I am excited to enhance my students’ literacy skills with engaging and interactive reading and sight word activities. These materials will help support early learners in building essential reading skills, from recognizing common sight words to improving fluency and comprehension. The activities in my cart are designed to meet students at their individual levels, offering hands-on experiences to reinforce their learning in fun and meaningful ways. With these resources, students will have the opportunity to practice sight words, improve word recognition, and engage in activities that encourage reading growth. These activities will support a diverse group of learners, ensuring that every student has the tools they need to succeed. With your generous donation, we can empower our students to become confident readers, setting them up for success in the years to come. Thank you for supporting literacy and helping make a difference in their educational journey!
