As a special educator, I am always interested in multimodal ways of learning - especially with the generational rise in the use of technology. The materials in this project will support visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners. The books on CD will provide opportunities for children to more closely hear how letters and words sound, much different from a read-aloud. Students can use what they heard and, as well as the physical interaction with the books, continue to grow and become more independent readers. Books that read to them are the catalyst to enjoying reading and positive literacy engagement. Reading is one of the most necessary skills in education as it is a foundation for almost everything! With reading and learning to read, students can then learn to spell to support their writing skills and solve word problems as they move further along in math. The Click n Spell program will help students in their understanding of phonetics for reading and writing. This will be particularly important for my students who struggle with the visual aspect of spelling and can rely on the auditory for the learning process. The math tool will support students who are struggling with number formation as well as math fluency (knowing automatically the sum of two numbers). The fidgets are especially important as they are used as focus or de-escalation tools for students. This helps students to become spatially aware and listening and responding to their needs. My students show their excitement and enjoyment of learning and this project will only provide a chance for more growth!
