My Project
Reading is arguably one of the most important skills a child can develop from an early age. Most of my students are not old enough to learn to read, but they ARE old enough to begin developing early foundational skills necessary to learn to read. Some of these skills include sound recognition, early language and vocabulary development, and even an understanding of how to hold a book and turn its pages. My students are also old enough to develop a love of books and book sharing, and it's important to provide them with the tools to help them develop this love.
My aim is to help my students develop foundational skills to prepare them for a lifelong love of reading and learning.
The mix and match animals toys will help my students develop vocabulary and learn to play with words as they mix the names of animals together. The phonological awareness puzzles will help them develop sound awareness and how to manipulate sounds to create different words. The building language lotto game will help them increase their vocabulary and understand how words go together. And the plethora of books in this project will provide children with sensory experiences with books that will tempt them to play with and experience books in a way that is engaging and fun and will leave them wanting more.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
