My Project

According to Frederick Douglass, “Once you learn to read, you will be forever free," but learning to read doesn't just happen with a book! Picture cards and letters on cubes can help my intervention students see how all those letters can be put together to make a word!

Children can practice identifying letters and easily connect the blue consonant cubes and red vowel cubes to form words and phrases with these Unifix® Letter Cubes.

My students will be able to pick up the cubes and move them around to make words. This is something that cannot be done with a book. These hands-on activities will make learning to read fun and help my students become amazing readers.
