A Strong Foundation!

Help me give my students an interactive way to build those foundational skills needed to read because reading is a life long skill needed to be a functioning individual, and Kindergarten is where those building blocks are laid.

My Project

I am asking for help to provide my kindergarten kiddos with a fun way to practice those phonics skills. These skills they develop will help them throughout their life. Reading is such a complex subject to teach and in the beginning it is crucial to provide a strong basis to be built upon. By providing them with hands-on, interactive ways in which to learn, such as the Magnetic Letter Tiles, Magnetic Letter Trays, Kindergarten Phonics Manipulatives, Phonemic Awareness, Science of Reading Classroom Materials requested, I hope to make it fun and engaging to ensure that all learners are able to create connections, meanings and learn those life long skills.

Students come to school with all different backgrounds of knowledge and readiness.

These materials will aim to work with learners on all levels to provide instruction in a differentiated manner. My students are the youngest learners in the school- they are the ones that teachers work so hard to provide a solid foundation and a true love for learning. Using these materials students will be able to practice such an important part of learning to read by encoding and decoding words, practicing letter sounds and names and using manipulatives.
