My Project
Eager and Excited!! These two words describe my studentsʻ willingness in learning important foundational reading skills. Additional materials would help my students to bridge the gap created by their lack of experiences prior to starting elementary school. These gaps were only further exacerbated during the COVID shutdowns and restrictions.
A multi-sensory approach of explicit phonics instruction has proven to be highly effective!!
Sand trays, sand paper letters, Elkonin boxes, and encoding practice will help build their understanding in these important foundational skills. These materials will be engaging and the students will absolutely love them! Mahalo!!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
