My Project

Recently, we have had new students entering our school who are learning English for the first time. Many of them cannot read and write in their home language. Learning English is a huge challenge!

My students are so eager to learn!

I want to make learning fun and engaging for them. I also want to give them multiple ways to learn the alphabet in English and to begin learning more and more vocabulary words. They need many different ways to experience letters and concepts than just one way. The more colorful, fun, and engaging activities ( games, cards, books, etc.) that we can use, the faster the students will connect with and learn the new concepts.
