EducationTeaching Materials & Planning3MediumTeacher$ implied
A new elementary teacher needs supplemental ELA materials with repeated practice for students with phonics gaps, beyond the limited resources in the core curriculum.
The school curriculum provides only a day or two of practice per skill, which is insufficient for students needing mastery. The teacher seeks ready-made, engaging, reusable supplemental activities.
