My Project

I am a special education teacher who works with several students who have deficits in reading. Developing reading comprehension can be challenging for many. My instruction needs to involve a variety of ways to develop their understanding. I am seeking fun opportunities through games and hands-on ways to assist with this process, making difficult tasks seem fun. Please help in my goal of meeting all student needs. Thank you so much for supporting my journey in meeting all students in a way that works best! I appreciate you taking the time to read about my journey.

Mrs. Aughenbaugh will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 6.
