My Project

The science of reading continues to promote phonics instruction. Phonics is the foundational building block that children use to be able to decode unknown words. These materials will provide instruction in an engaging way.

All of my students are at-risk readers who just need more practice and help!

The students can learn to decode unknown words using the Phonics Skill-Building Book Sets. This library of decodables will enable them to read fluently as they practice independently and with peers. The Phonics First Little Readers would be used for reading practice while in small groups. They would give students practice in decoding unknown words as they identify sounds.

The materials will be used for years, with different students. All my students will appreciate your support. Thank you in advance for your help!
