My Project

My excellent first-grade students thrive in hands-on learning environments, and I’m committed to providing them with the tools they need to succeed. This year, we’ve implemented the UFLI curriculum to build strong foundational reading skills. To teach it with fidelity and make learning truly engaging, I’m requesting specific hands-on materials that bring lessons to life.

The magnetic components allow students to actively manipulate letters as they explore sounds and spelling patterns—an essential part of learning to read.

These interactive tools make a big difference in helping young learners grasp and retain key concepts.

I believe every child deserves the best learning experience, and with these materials, I can better support my students on their journey to becoming confident, capable readers.
