Learning Letters and Sounds in Kindergarten

Help me give my students literacy center materials to be used during reading centers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Finneron's classroom raised $193

This project is fully funded

My Students

I have a group of 25 inquisitive kindergartners. Our school is part of an amazing community and we all work together to ensure each student loves learning. I have a diverse group of students ranging in ages from 4 to 6 years old.

They love to create, explore, play and work together.

They are eager to learn and love hands-on experiences. They are energetic and inquisitive and full of wonder. Every day they come to school ready to learn and grow their love of learning.

My Project

The materials in this project would be used during our daily reading rotations where the students work together in small groups. The alphabet pocket chart center will help students with letter identification and identifying the beginning sound of a word. The alphabet match center helps the students identify letters in an engaging way and the cvc word match will help them start to use the letters and sounds and blend them to read whole words. The students will work together to retell nursery rhymes and identify the rhyming words in them with the nursery rhyme kit.

These centers will allow the students to work together and learn their ABC's.

They will be engaged in their learning and have fun!
