The PWBHS Interact club participated in our last Reading Allies session for the semester. We feel great joy as we have served the students at @TCSSkyland. Our purpose was fulfilled as we watched students grow as proficient readers through the program. Thank you, @ReadingAllies!

Our students are constantly improving their phonics skills. One method of teaching that they love? Letter cards!

With their tutor, students are using their phonics skills to recognize sounds, build and manipulate words, and then write! Have you seen letter cards in your lessons?
