Lufkin, TX Grades PreK-2

I am an ESL first grade teacher in a low socio-economic school. We recently purchased a wonderful resource for our first grade classes called PHONICS LESSONS; LETTERS, WORDS, AND HOW THEY WORK, by Gay Su Pinnell & Irene Fountas. My students need many opportunities for literacy development, and this manual has a wealth of reproducible activities such as game boards, word lists, assessment charts, and more. The problem that I discovered this year was that I just didn't have the free time to make and run off all of the manipulatives that go with this resource. I have found the Manipulative Kit for Use with Phonics Lessons, an organized, durable manipulative kit that will give me more time on teaching, and less on duplicating and cutting materials. This kit was developed to go along with the Pinnell/Fountas resource that we began using this year. My students, especially my English as a Second Language students, would benefit from having hands-on literacy materials. This kit will help them develop and improve their letter/sound knowledge, word building, fluency, spelling...the list goes on! My goal is that all of my first grade students would become lifelong skilled and fluent readers and writers, and this kit would be a tremendous tool to help me achieve that goal.
