Bridge Literacy Barriers!

Help me give my students tactile learning resources that will positively impact their reading and writing journeys!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fujino's classroom raised $371

My Project

Many of my students enter school with barriers to learning, but we aren't letting that stump them! We are rising above -- growing, thriving, and prospering!

As their teacher, I recognize that many of them need tactile activities to process and understand their educational experiences through touching and feeling a concept.

With the materials listed on my wish list, my young learners will be able to engage and feel their way to becoming super readers and writers. Oftentimes literacy challenges begin with phonemic awareness, but we are ready to overcome this challenge in hopes of sailing smoothly toward decoding, sounding out written words, and recognizing familiar word parts.

Thank you in advance for your support! We are eager and ready to keep growing and learning!
