Sweet Treats for Struggling Readers

Help me give my students Sweet Treats for Super Star Struggling Readers as they improve their independent skills!

My Project

I am requesting sweet treats for my struggling middle school readers. I teach seventh graders, most of whom have a specific learning disability in reading/written expression in Pittsburgh, PA. I would like to reward these students when they improve their independent reading skills!

As my struggling readers improve their skills on Achieve 3000, Amplify, and IXL, tasty treats will help motivate them!

I would kindly appreciate your donation, so my students have a sense of pride and accomplishment. Many struggling readers are several grade levels behind (often times from Covid), which can really hurt their self esteem. Little rewards, like chips and candy, can really make a difference- especially to hungry middle schoolers!
