We are seeing a huge gap in what students come into kindergarten knowing over years previous to Covid. There is a significant lack of basic letter knowledge, number knowledge, and an overall lack of phonemic awareness. Many of them have also become very accustomed and reliant on screens to learn what knowledge they do have. I have seen over and over this year the spark of excitement and eagerness to learn that hands-on content and play-based learning creates for my students. When they can have materials in their hands that give them a tangible connection to the content we are learning, it makes all the difference in their willingness and enthusiasm to engage and learn. Whether it's manipulatives, letters they can touch to sound out words, or art-based learning, giving them tangible ways to connect with their learning is invaluable. These hands-on lessons create play-based learning that truly enables magic in the classroom.
