Building Literacy One Letter at a Time

Help me give my students magnetic letters and magnetic white boards to practice phonics skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gaspard's classroom raised $706

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are inquisitive children who are ready for learning! Many of my students are in school for the first time.

In Kindergarten, we are laying the foundation for future learning.

I want to make sure that every student is adequately prepared for the future.

My Project

Magnetic letters are great for working on building words and phoneme manipulation. They help students develop a solid foundation in reading and writing by providing students opportunities to have hands-on practice with letters.

Magnetic letters help Kindergarteners become experts at building words and manipulating individual phonemes to make new words.

This will allow them to become fluent in both reading and writing. Currently, I practice with magnetic letters in small group, but would like to extend this to whole group lessons as well. This would provide students with extra practice so that that they can master these skills.
