Embracing the Science of Reading in First Grade

Help me give my students resources and tools to develop their phonemic awareness. The Lakeshore Phonemic Awareness Instant Learning Centers would be an excellent center that I could use in my classroom to help all of my students.

My Project

All of the items in my cart will help students with their literacy skills. They promote the science of reading and will help ensure that my students develop strategies to ensure their reading success. I have requested books to help guide my instructions, centers, manipulatives and items to help keep even the most reluctant students engaged in the lessons. Many of the items requested will help to build phonemic awareness in my students, which is an essential part of their reading development.

Please consider helping my first grade classroom.

Thank you!

Mrs. Teece Desert Willow Elementary School Grades PreK-2
