Goal

The primary goal of this project is to improve the reading abilities of 2nd-grade students who are performing significantly below grade level. By providing engaging and research-backed literacy tools, we aim to strengthen foundational reading skills, enhance comprehension, and build student confidence in literacy.

This goal is measurable through the use of pre- and post-assessments that will evaluate progress in decoding, fluency, and comprehension skills over the school year. Specifically, we expect to see a 20% improvement in reading assessment scores and a noticeable increase in student engagement and participation during literacy activities.

What will be done with my students

This project will provide targeted literacy interventions through the use of high-quality educational materials and games from Lakeshore Learning. These tools will address key areas of literacy development, including decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, in alignment with grade-level curriculum standards.

We will implement these resources in daily small-group instruction and independent practice stations. Activities will include phonics games, comprehension exercises, and writing activities tailored to meet the diverse needs of our students. For example, the Match & Sort Language Quickies sets will focus on building decoding skills, while the Finding Evidence Comprehension Kits will help students practice higher-order thinking by identifying key details in texts.

The timeline for this project begins upon receiving the grant, with materials integrated into classroom instruction within two weeks. The program will run throughout the academic year, allowing for sustained, consistent support for our students.

The benefits include:
Improved foundational reading skills.
Increased academic achievement in literacy.
Enhanced student engagement through interactive and hands-on activities.
Better preparation for future grade-level expectations and standardized assessments. 

 

Benefits to my students

With this project, we expect to accomplish the following measurable outcomes:

20% improvement in reading assessment scores: This will be measured using pre- and post-tests aligned with the district’s literacy benchmarks.
Increased time on task during literacy activities: Students will be observed for a 25% increase in active participation during reading and writing sessions.
Enhanced comprehension skills: Students will show a 15% improvement in comprehension assessments by effectively answering questions about key details in texts.
Progress will be monitored and documented through bi-weekly assessments, student work samples, and observational data collected during instruction.
