Help me give my students engaging literacy resources for our classroom, including phonics centers, magnetic phonics kits, and the Mother Bruce book series that complements our reading curriculum."
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My project is designed to create an engaging, interactive literacy environment for my students. It includes the beloved *Mother Bruce* book series, which will captivate students while complementing our reading curriculum. Along with the books, we will have a *Mother Bruce* book buddy, a plush companion that will help bring the stories to life and encourage students to engage with the characters and themes.
To strengthen phonics skills, I’ve included fun, hands-on phonics centers that cover a variety of first grade skills including CVC, blends, digraphs, and magic e.
These centers will allow students to work independently or in small groups, fostering both learning and collaboration. Additionally, small group magnetic phonics kits will offer targeted instruction for students who need extra support or a challenge.
Organization and structure are key to a successful learning environment, so I’ve also included storage solutions for both small group activities and individual student work. This will help keep our classroom neat and ensure that materials are easy to access, so students can focus on their literacy development.
With these resources, my students will have the opportunity to engage with literacy in meaningful and fun ways. The combination of books, interactive phonics activities, and well-organized materials will create a literacy-rich environment that promotes a love of reading and strengthens foundational skills.
More than half of students from low‑income households
