My Project

My students are curious about learning and LOVE to play. They come from a variety of backgrounds. Due to the pandemic, some stayed home during preschool, some attended day care, some attended online preschool. Students are learning their letter sounds and how to apply those sounds to reading words. We focus on CVC (consonant vowel consonant) words and blends in kindergarten. The activity and learning centers, snap and build blocks, learning locks, and other materials will give them age appropriate, hands-on, engaging games and books to play/practice important foundational reading skills: applying the letter sounds they have learned into decoding (reading words by sounding them out). Thank you for your support in early childhood literacy!
