My Project

Students in Kindergarten need practice with fine motor skills as well as phonemic awareness and word building. With these activities students will be using these manipulatives to help them blend and segment words as well as build words.

Building independence with manipulative workshops help students learn and be more independent in their reading.

They get excited when they can successfully complete tasks on their own and take ownership of their learning. Students also learn that they don't always have to have an adult their to help them if they can check their work on their own.

With your help I will be able to provide activities for our workshop time that will meet their needs in many ways. It gives repetition, fine motor skill practice and builds independence in a fun way. While they are working on these activities it will give me the opportunity to pull small groups to work on specific tasks they need extra practice on to keep growing as readers.
