My Project

Dear Donors,

This project aims to enhance eye-hand coordination, develop pre-literacy skills, teach the alphabet, strengthen fine motor skills, and expand vocabulary.

By focusing on pre-literacy skills, we will help children improve their comprehension and reasoning abilities. Early literacy skills also lay a strong foundation for success in math, science, and technology.

Introducing students to books will allow them to explore new places and broaden their horizons, fostering dreams and curiosity about life. Reading and writing are fundamental skills. When equipped with the right tools, a child's imagination can flourish in the endless world of words.

Thank you for your support!

Ms. King
