My Project

It is so very important to make sure kids love learning and are having fun while doing it. With these incredible literacy puzzles, activities and games my students are going to fall in love with not only reading but also writing, spelling and decoding.

Watching kids manipulate letter tiles, match up words pictures and even writing their stories from sequence cards, makes my students' learning more engaging and fun!

I can't wait to support my scholars with these incredible spelling, reading and communication activities. These collaborative puzzles will really assist our literacy development everyday in the reading room!
