My Project

The kids need more one on one tutoring so they can learn to read on grade level by 3rd grade. In order for teachers to work closely with children students need more time on task with programs that will ensure their learning of phonics and fluency when they are not being directly taught in small groups by their teachers. We have ipads that have programs such as Amira (an adaptive fluency tutoring program) and Lexia (which helps build their phonics skills). Having good headphones that won't break is imperative. These programs are both adaptive and can reach children at any level of reading ability so they can reach their grade level and above and make up for the missing skills from the lack of in person learning during COVID-19.
