My Project

I am asking for a class set of magnetic letters for my students. I am starting University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI) and Science of Reading whole class lessons. This is a phonics curriculum that is research-based and used to ensure all students are learning.

A portion of the UFLI curriculum is building words with magnetic letters.

Using this tool during my lessons will significantly increase my student's ability to understand the phonics lesson being taught. These letters would make a HUGE difference in my teaching and allow students to engage in hands-on activities. I would be so grateful for your help.
