My Project

The students in my school thrive when given high quality materials to help them grow early literacy skills! Students are more engaged when they can participate in small group centers with fun and hands on activities that help them start to learn to read!

The materials from this project will be used to build students phonological and phonemic awareness.

The decodable books will help students to apply their knowledge of explicit phonics instruction. Having many sets available ensures that all students are taking a step towards becoming more fluent readers.
