I have sixteen amazing and sweet students in my first grade classroom. Our school has 42% English-language learners and 57% of students from low-income families. My kids come to school eager to learn!
I want all my students to have the basic foundational skills in phonics mastered so they are prepared to read and write whatever they choose.
To do that they need the best phonics games and activities to work with every day during our literacy block.
My Project
With these phonics games and activities my students will be able to strengthen their phonics skills. These resources will be used every day during our literacy block. Each day, students do some sort of word work, whether it is working with high frequency words, finding beginning and ending parts in words, practicing writing word families, or sounding out words to spell them correctly. These resources will be an integral part of our literacy block.
This project will make a huge difference in our classroom.
Strong phonics knowledge is essential for both reading and writing. My students will become better at both as they use these resources. Also, these are all fun games and activities that my students will enjoy working with, which supports a big component of our classroom community: having fun while learning! It is so important that my students learn to love learning so that they continue learning for the rest of their lives.
