My Project

My Kindergarteners are doing so well with their letter ID and their letter recognition, but we still need help. The Science of Reading method incorporates phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Kids spend a great deal of time learning sounds, blends, phonemes, and more. These materials enables them to quickly decode any word they come across. Hands-on practice and repetition are key.

My students will love all the hands on materials that you can provide.

When they are working with these materials, they get the feeling of independence. Thiis is a great boost to their confidence.
