My Project

My students are working hard to grow their phonics and vocabulary skills! The materials in this project will help give my students a variety of fun and engaging learning tools. In this project there vocabulary games and activities, spelling games and phonics activities. These resources will help in small group instruction as well as independent practice. In addition there are chapter books that are engaging to students and include pictures to engage and support comprehension. They are also series books which will help motivate growing readers. These materials will help them grow as readers, spellers and writers.
