Learning Phonics Through Sensory Exploration

Help me give my students books and art materials for learning phonics through sensory exploration

  • $230 goal

My Project

The alphabet books and pocket charts will be used to help students identify letters, letter sounds, and different objects in their environment that begin with the letter.

The sensory foam paint, kinetic sand, and modge podge will be used for students to paint and mold letters.

My goal for this project is to create phonics lessons that are hands on and engaging. My students with autism are visual, auditory, and tactile learners. They benefit from pairing instruction with visual cues and hands-on experiences. These materials will help us meet that goal.
