My Project

First graders are learning the foundations of reading. My goal with this project is to make reading fun and engaging through the use of games and hands on manipulatives as they are developing these foundational skills. These games focus on CVC words, digraphs, blends, and different types of vowel sounds. I will use these games in my classroom as a part of their reading rotations. I am confident that with these games, a strong foundation will be set and students will grasp the systematic process reading takes us through! They will be having so much fun, they won't even know they're learning to read!
