Phonics Strategies

Help me give my students new whiteboards for our phonics dictation and a handful of other supplies to organize our classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McNeel's classroom raised $198

My Project

I teach third grade and each week we focus on a different phonics or syllable rule. The students complete a number of activities to help strengthen their understanding and mastery of the skill. One of them is I have students use whiteboards to dictate the words I recite to them.

The students count the sounds, draw the lines on the board, and then spell each sound.

This is a great strategy to increase their phonemic awareness and practice their handwriting. Our current whiteboards are getting very used and a new fresh set would be great!

We are also in need of a handful of classroom organization items to put our art supplies, snacks, and other writing utensils in order. We are also wanting to string some lights behind our smart board in order to illuminate our classroom for earned dance parties or quick brain breaks.
