My Project

Our kindergarten and first-grade multilingual learners are bright, eager, and ready to learn. Because they are not fluent in English, they sometimes struggle with early literacy skills. We have started to address their unique needs using the Science of Reading.

Multisensory literacy tools and routines will help boost and support their new phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and vocabulary skills.

Hands-on activities engage students in learning and include multiple modalities to reach their diverse needs. These tools and routines will help students build the strong literacy skills they will need to be successful in the classroom and beyond.
