Puppets, Play, and Powerful Literacy Learning

Help me give my students engaging puppets, storytelling materials, and hands-on literacy activities that will bring books to life and strengthen their confidence as readers, speakers, and storytellers.

Dr. Lee-Angry F.L. Stanton Elementary School

Atlanta, GA Grades 3-5

My Project

My students are curious, imaginative, and eager to learn through play and exploration. In our classroom, some of the most meaningful learning happens when students are actively engaged, collaborating with classmates, and using their creativity to make connections with stories and concepts. Many of my young learners are still developing confidence in their speaking and reading abilities, so creating opportunities for hands-on, interactive literacy experiences is incredibly important.

The puppets and storytelling materials in this project will help bring literacy to life for my Pre-K through fifth grade students.

The multicultural career puppets will allow students to act out stories, practice oral language skills, and explore different roles and perspectives through dramatic play. These puppets will also help students see diversity represented in positive and meaningful ways while encouraging collaboration and communication with peers.

The multicultural hand puppets and safari animal puppets will be used during read-alouds, literacy centers, and retelling activities. Students will use them to sequence events, identify characters, build vocabulary, and create their own stories. Puppetry is especially powerful for shy or hesitant students because it provides a fun and low-pressure way to participate in discussions and storytelling activities.

The honey bee puppet will support themed lessons connected to nature, informational texts, and science integration while helping students engage more deeply in interactive read-alouds. The Chicka Chicka Boom Boom activity tree will strengthen letter recognition, alphabet knowledge, and phonological awareness through hands-on learning experiences that make foundational literacy skills exciting and memorable.

These resources will help create a joyful classroom environment where students can build confidence, strengthen literacy skills, and develop a lifelong love for reading and storytelling.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
