Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This project will help make learning phonics more hands-on, multi-sensory, and more FUN!!! We will use these magnet letters to build words that we read, sound, and spell. We will use methods from Orton-Gillingham and the science of reading to learn foundational reading skills. We will use these centers and games to make learning phonics more fun and engaging.

These tools will be used to boost my students' scores and participation in phonics skills and reading.

We will have phonics center time daily in the learning lab and create a super fun and engaging time of reading.
