Help Make Phonics Instruction Go From Hands to Minds!

Help me give my students fun and engaging materials for whole group phonics instruction.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Tongen's classroom raised $364

My Project

Magic happens when students are engaged in purposeful whole group instruction. Please help me give my students engaging materials to use during whole group phonics instruction.

By providing the hand2mind Advancing Phonics Word Work Small Group Set, each student will get their own magnetic board with magnetic tiles to build words for phonics instruction.

In addition, they can also build high frequency words, regular/irregular words and many other spelling words that will help with developing their reading and writing skills. Each set contains everything my students will need to participate efficiently and effectively.
