This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. Golas from Lake Alfred, FL is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Rocket into Reading

My students need 1 Ladybug letter game, 1 Alphabet Treasure Hunt game, 1 Phonological Awareness Activity Box that includes rhyming pictures, games, and ear phones. My students need 1 Complete set of Phonemic Awareness Match up games that include games for beginning, middle, and end sounds. My students need 1 Let's Talk! Phonemic Awareness box. My students need 1 Wrap Around Phonemic Activity game.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Golas's classroom raised $217

This project is fully funded

I teach kindergarten in a low income school in Florida. Almost 85% of my students do not have a grasp on phonemic awareness. That means they have trouble putting sounds together and pulling them apart, a skill essential to reading.

Being that this is only my second year teaching Kindergarten, I have very few hands on materials and games that can help my students build this essential reading skill.

The materials I am asking for will help my students by teaching them phonemic awareness skills, like blending sounds together, in fun hands on games. Not only will this help my current class, but each of my future classes.

Reading is key to a child's education. Without these important skills, my students will struggle in their attempts to read and will hinder their chances of success in school. Please help my students by helping to buy these wonderful games!
