My Project

My students are struggling readers who work so hard every day. Using the Science of Reading and an evidence-based decoding program they have begun to crack the code. We are in desperate need of decodable books that follow the phonics lessons we are teaching in order to continue this success.

Henry and Mudge chapter books allow them to apply their phonics skills and practice fluency and comprehension.

These books will help them to be able to read independently on grade level.

We need your help and support for my students to close this reading gap and be successful. As always thank you so much for your support, it takes a team, and I am so grateful for everything you do to help my students succeed.
