My Project

I am requesting these hands-on materials that will help my kindergarten students learn to read. Each day they work with me in a small group as we build words, segment sounds, and practice reading. I am asking for trays and magnetic wands to make word-building fun and hands-on.

I am also asking for CVC games students can play during center time.

All of these items will help make learning to read more fun and hands-on. It will make their time learning to read feel like play!
