Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Mastering the knowledge of letter sounds is crucial to learning to read. Making the learning interactive and fun can help make the experience more engaging and effective. The miniatures included in the Teaching Tubs provide students with realistic objects to help them make connections to the sounds letters make. The mini objects can be used in a variety of ways, including for introducing and reviewing sounds, as well as for games and hands-on practice activities. This is especially important for intervention students who need to interact with the concepts in different ways. The Teaching Tubs of the Alphabet and Vowel Sounds will become a mighty, well-used, and appreciated resource for helping my students master the letter sounds on their way to becoming readers.
