Celebrating 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 Students
Do you remember what it was like learning how to speak and read in a second language? These are the challenges that my students are facing in my classroom. My students are limited in English and have difficulties learning how to read without the use of visuals and hands-on learning tools
I work in a Title 1 school.
I have 24 English language learners and 2 Special Education students that mainstream into my class daily. My students come to kindergarten lacking the necessary skills needed to succeed in reading. My students need exciting and engaging ways to learn about letters, sounds, and blending. With the current budget cuts, my school is unable to purchase games that will help achieve success in reading. My students need a hands-on approach for learning how to read.
My Project
These phonics materials and games will give my students the opportunities to learn to read in a fun and exciting way while acquiring phonemic awareness. These games will allow students to recognize letter names and sounds,identify sight words and build simple consonant/vowel/consonant words. Also, these games will increase my students' vocabulary and improve their decoding skills. These materials and games will be used during small group instruction for practice. Once the students develop knowledge of letter names and sounds, we will be utilizing the clipboards to do letter investigations. During letter investigations, the students will be drawing pictures and writing the letters of the objects they see. We will be doing our letter investigations in the classroom as well as outdoors. The clipboards will make it easier for students to write as they walk around.
Please help my students build phonemic awareness skills with games that are exciting, interactive and engaging.
My students will not only learn to read but will develop a love for reading and much success. Give my students the opportunities to build phonemic awareness as they play with super fun games and then transfer that knowledge into writing with the use of clipboards.
