My Project

One of the best ways for my students to recover from missed learning opportunities as a result of COVID-19 is to give them multiple engaging opportunities for practice. These materials will give my students repeated practice in learning their letters and sounds, building simple words, and recognizing sight words.

Kindergarten students benefit from hands-on materials to strengthen their skills.

My students will use these materials to practice independently during our daily center time. I will also use these materials to offer extra support during our small group time. These materials will also add an element of play to our learning environment.
