Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Phonics and word recognition are two components that are critical in the early part of a student's literacy acquisition. The systematic and explicit phonics instruction begins as soon as my students enter my classroom on the first day of school by using hands-on and engaging small group activities.

The interactive games, wipe-and-write boards, CVC tiles, and multi-sensory alphabet letters provide a fun and engaging way to learn how to read.

Students can improve their sound and syllable mapping using the write-and-wipe whiteboards with Elkonin boxes. My students enjoy learning with word puzzles and sequencing stories to improve their reading skills.

The phonics tools will allow my students to practice their reading skills in a fun and playful way. Building words, using colorful tiles, and blending sounds and syllables will help my students build their literacy skills as they play.
