My Students

My Title I Reading students come from three different grade levels throughout the day, ten from kindergarten, ten from first grade, and ten from second grade. They have a host of reasons why they are receiving reading remediation, but they personally have no idea that's what this class is all about. In fact, they are made to feel special because they were chosen to come to my class.

The outside and inside of my classroom are designed to look like a candy store/bakery and children find it a magical place to come for lessons.

Most of them express their delight to get to come to the "store." As one second-grade child put it, "I've been trying to shop here since kindergarten!" Often, children knock on the door and ask if they can come here too; so as you see, these little ones arrive excited and ready to "work" at the store.

Once they have the mindset that they are doing important work here, these children are happy and put in the effort to complete the tasks. They bring a lot of joy to me and each other as they work towards their reading goals. Their efforts will pay off.

My Project

In my Title I Reading Program, we use a multisensory program in order to fully facilitate a child's reading readiness skills. As I prepare children to learn to read, write, speak and listen, count and think, we need space to practice multisensory centers independently. This setting will allow children the space they need to work at different levels and pacing that will be conducive to their learning styles.

Students' workstations will include the alphabet, rhyming, shapes and colors, prewriting skills, fine and gross motor skills, and many more hands-on activities.

I have a very small classroom that needs very small furniture in order to give my students these independent workstations that are so very important in developing their abilities to read. Children who go through this program are given a greater chance to be successful readers and spellers in the first and second grades. While this program is geared to kindergartners, it is also offered to first and second graders who need appropriate learning experiences to bring them up to grade level.

There is strong evidence that early childhood hand-on activities influence the brain's ability to process reading. I would greatly appreciate your support in purchasing these two tables to give the children a more conducive environment to do this.

Thank you.
