My Project

I am a teacher of students with special needs in a developmental day school. We need materials to explore the alphabet, books and writing to develop pre-reading skills necessary for success in school.

To support learning throughout the day, we are creating an outdoor literacy center on our playground to support early literacy development.

Your donation will enable us to provide hands-on learning opportunities for the students that will not only enhance their pre-reading skills, but they will also provide opportunities for students to practice their fine-motor and language skills.
