My Project

My 5th-grade special education students are bright, eager learners who face unique challenges in reading. Many struggle with decoding, fluency, and comprehension, making it difficult to keep up with their peers in the general education classroom. Despite these challenges, they are determined to grow as readers, and I want to provide them with the tools to succeed. With the right resources, my students can build confidence, stay engaged, and develop the skills they need to become independent readers.

I am requesting essential classroom supplies such as a classroom laminating machine, highlighters, red pens, folders, pencil grips, and reading trackers to help students make meaningful notes, follow along, and actively engage with reading materials.

The goal of this project is to create a structured and supportive environment where my students can thrive. By providing them with the right tools, I can foster their independence, improve their comprehension, and make reading an enjoyable experience. My students are special because they work incredibly hard to overcome their learning difficulties, and they never give up. With your support, I can give them the resources they need to feel confident and capable on their reading journey. Thank you for helping my students unlock the power of literacy!
