My Project

This will help build my students love for reading and writing. They want to be able to write well structured essays but don’t know how. Also the curriculum writes I have are very boring to choose to write. I want to find ways to have my students change their narratives around. These will also help bridge their learning gaps by making learning fun.

My students are low and need the support to grow their writing.

I have several students who need this extra support to help them form complete sentences.
