My Project

Young children who are learning English and have special needs learn best when they can move and play. The games, manipulatives, and activities will engage children while they learn their letter names and sounds.

Making learning fun and engaging is important in starting students out with a positive mindset towards school.

With games, puzzles, and activities, children will be able to be curious, explore, and discover how letters and sounds work.

With Emily Hanford's latest research on the Science of Reading, we know how important phonics is in teaching children how to read.
