Phonics and Reading = Foundation for Life

Help me give my students with building their foundation for life through phonics and reading!

My Project

As first graders we start in kindergarten and continue in first grade to build a strong foundation to start our successful journey through education and life.

Having high quality phonics and reading materials with excellent instruction helps build the strong foundation needed for a successful education and future productive citizen.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional phonics and reading options to make more effective learning choices.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
