My Students

I am a resource room special education teacher with students in grades K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th. All of my 21 students receive individualized instruction in reading, with each one having individual talents and strengths. With such a wide range of ages/grades I am always looking for new ways to engage my students in hands-on learning activities. I would like to create self-directed phonemic awareness/phonics learning centers where my students can practice their skills on their own, and also create areas for peer assisted practice. I want to help my students build the foundational reading skills that will ultimately build their confidence and foster a love for reading and learning.

My Project

These materials will be used to create phonics learning centers in my resource room. This will give my students opportunities to practice the foundational skills they need to become strong readers. The materials will help me create fun and exciting new ways for my students to practice on their own and through peer assisted activities. The whiteboards and magnetic letters will be used to give my students opportunities to practice skills such as letter identification, letter sound identification, word building and sentence writing. My students love writing on whiteboards and these materials will allow me to have enough for each student to have their own in the classroom.
