Building Words

Help me give my students challenging word building materials and games to explore!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cooke's classroom raised $257

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are amazing! I currently teach English as a second language for kindergarten through grade five at a community school. Our school is in a low-income, urban area. My students come from diverse backgrounds, and are in both general and special education classrooms.

My students are are eager to learn, and strive to do their best every day.

Children learn best when they are engaged in hands-on activities. They need materials to practice the skills they are working on.

My Project

Students will be challenged to build words using letter blocks. They can even switch out letter blocks to explore sound substitution, rhyming, and more!

Twist-and-turn three and four letter word builders will help students build words on their own!

They will be able to sound out words that include blends and digraphs. They will get focused practice with a variety of letter combinations and phonics sounds.

Reading games will be used during large and small group times. They are a fun way for children to practice decoding two syllable words, sight words, CVC words, and more! Children will be able to learn while having fun!
