Reading Comprehension, Phonics, and Letter Recognition, Oh My!

My Project

I am an ENL teacher who works with students mastering the English language. I plan to use my materials in order to build phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and reading comprehension. Students need help blending, segmenting, reading, and recognizing the alphabet.

My goal is to utilize these materials (the reading materials especially) in order to build comprehension of words we are working on mastering.

We need a Road to Reading Activity Center, Sight Word Activities and magnetic pocket charts.

Some of my students are new to the United States and are experiencing an entirely new culture.I want to give them tools to succeed. Thank you for your consideration.
