My Project

I love the enthusiasm that my students have for learning how to improve their reading skills. They are very special to me because they are determined to become better readers by showing resilience and a can-do attitude everyday. These materials will be used in daily small group reading intervention lessons. For example, the dry erase pockets will serve as a tool for my students to use their whiteboard markers to complete their lesson vocabulary practice. Also. The magnetic letters will be used for word building activities and letter/sound practice. The magnetic pictures and cards will be used for word blending.
