Literacy Matters!

Help me give my students the Language Tool Kit resources to help with their reading fluency.

My Project

The students will use these materials in our everyday lessons. The Language Tool Kit will be used for word building and word work. It will help increase their fluency and automaticity which is extremely important for all readers.

In our classroom, we work with the alphabet on a daily basis, and these materials would provide the students with a chance to have hands-on learning with literacy.

The magnifying glasses would be used as a detective tool when trying to find key information in the text. It invites them to engage with the text in a new, fun way!
