Engaging Future Readers

Help me give my students magnetic letters and cookie sheets for spelling words during center time activities. Having these resources will help create engaging centers they can easily take to and from the carpet.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McNamara's classroom raised $255

My Project

These items will help make a difference in my students' ability to blend and read. The variety of centers I can create with these materials, including the magnetic letters and cookies sheets, will help create new fun centers for students to rotate through.

My students will be able to use the magnetic letters to build and spell sight words and other CVC words to help them become more fluent early readers.

The prizes will be used as rewards for their hard work and focus during the centers. The picture cards will be used as a visual aide to help them build the words.
