Reading is FUN!

Help me give my students the practice in sorting sounds and writing letters.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Buscher's classroom raised $312

This project is fully funded

My Project

After receiving more understanding of the Science of Reading and receiving training in LETRS, I want to provide my students more opportunities to connect hearing sounds to seeing and writing letters.

“Connect hearing with seeing!”

Students will be able to use the materials in whole group, small groups, or individually. They will have fun connecting, matching, and writing what they are learning about letters and sounds then begin to make words to read. We will put all items to great use in the classroom this year and for years to come.
