Help me give my students new books and reading manipulatives such as unifix cubes and magnetic letter tiles to help give them a solid reading foundation.
First grade is a growing time for early readers. The Elephant and Piggie books are a positive, entertaining way for early readers to build their reading skills and cultivate a love for reading. Along with adding to our library, the manipulatives such as the magnatiles, unifix cubes, and spelling games will allow our class to increase their reading skills through hands on activities.
These supplies will engage, and excite my students to build their knowledge and grow their abilities to create confident readers.
Every child wants to be a confident reader. Good reading skills enhance the learning in every other content area. First grade is a key time to grow those foundational reading skills, but every child learns differently. Having a variety of learning manipulatives will allow all of my students the opportunity to cultivate and promote those foundational skills. Thank you for funding our project! Mahalo Nui Loa!!
