My Project

As a speech language pathologist working in the schools, I am committed to providing our preK through 2nd-grade students with the tools they need to flourish in their formative years. That's why I'm reaching out to generous donors like you through DonorsChoose to help acquire interactive children's books tailored specifically for young learners.

The items I'm requesting will serve as invaluable resources in enhancing my students' phonological awareness, articulation skills, and receptive/expression language abilities.

Interactive children's books not only captivate young minds but also serve as dynamic platforms for engaging speech therapy interventions. Through targeted activities and discussions centered around these books, along with supplemental, thematic materials, such as finger puppets, my students will not only strengthen their literacy skills but also advance their speech and language abilities in a fun and interactive manner.

The speech therapy team in my building truly believes the best way to promote learning with young learners is through playful engagement. By integrating these books into our therapy sessions, our goal is to provide authentic, engaging opportunities to support students’ continued growth toward reaching their developmental milestones, allowing them to express themselves independently and confidently both inside and outside the classroom.

What makes our students special is their resilience and eagerness to learn! Each child brings a unique set of strengths and needs to the table, and it's my privilege as their speech therapist to support them with the foundational stepping stones toward becoming successful communicators.

Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of these exceptional young learners. Your generous contributions will not only enrich their educational experience but also support their lifelong love of books. Thank you for considering this project.
