My Project

My kindergarten students have been making amazing progress learning to read this year! They have shown so much progress, that I am scrambling to find center materials that will challenge them and yet still allow them to work independently.

The phonics materials that I am requesting will allow my students to practice what they are learning while I am working with small groups.

They will be self-correcting to promote correct practice of skills. I am requesting all different levels of phonics materials to continue to challenge all of my students at their various learning levels.
