My Students

My students are struggling readers in West Virginia. They need a place for inspiration to learn and enjoy reading. These students are in grades kindergarten through fifth grade and do not always have access to books or nice things. Many of these students come from low-income families and do not have access to technology and rarely get the educational help that they need at home. These students would benefit from having things to make their learning environment more accessible and pleasing to see.

My Project

My students are low income students who struggle with reading skills. These students need every opportunity to practice their reading skills in a fun and interesting ways.

The students I work with have limited or no access to technology.

The goal is to give them more access to technology while increasing their reading skills. With these devices, they will be able to use the devices to access programs, such as Accelerated Reader and Smarty Ants, to help improve their reading skills. Students will also be able to access programs like PBS kids to help them learn other skills needed to succeed. These are fun programs that the students enjoy and learn.
