I teach a K/1 class with three other teachers in a low-income, high poverty school district. Our students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. There are many demands emotionally and academically.
Our students are champions each day when it comes to overcoming these obstacles.
Our K/1 kids are hands-on learners who love to explore the world around them and help each other. They work hard each day to do their best in reading, writing, and math. They are the most loving kids around.
My Project
I am writing this project because our students need a strong Phonemic Awareness program. The research shows for kids to learn to read they need to develop a strong Phonemic Awareness foundation. These books will help my kiddos to develop rhyming, segmentation, syllables, and compound words. This will give them the skills to be able to decode words and enjoy a reading life.
All kids deserve a chance to develop the skills to become readers.
These books and activities will level the playing field for our kids. They are the sweetest and hard working kids who are invested in learning to read. They look to us to help them reach their goals.
Thank you for taking the time to read my project. Please consider donating or sharing this project.
