My Project

My students are all bright, adventurous, and voracious readers who love having a new book introduced to the classroom. We love having physical books in the classroom and they allow the students to handle and interact with literature on a one-to-one basis. As students with hearing loss, they need as much access to literature as possible to ensure success and growing reading skills.

Your support would directly impact the literacy skills of multiple students with hearing loss learning to understand the world around them!

Let's give our students the best chance to succeed by creating a rich reading environment.
