Help Make Phonics Fun!

Help me give my students engaging and interactive phonics learning activities to improve their reading fluency and comprehension!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kaplan's classroom raised $915

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am a special education teacher for grades Kindergarten and Second. My students love to learn and are determined to build their phonics skills. My students need support to help them reach their reading goals. I am a first-year teacher and need to build my materials to make phonics fun and engaging. These resources will help my students build their reading skills and be able to work on their peer communication skills at the same time.

As a new teacher, building a foundation of resources will help my students build their phonological awareness and confidence with reading.

Hands-on activities and working collaboratively will help them to build their reading skills and social skills!

Ms. Kaplan Daniel K. Inouye Elementary School Grades PreK-2
