My Project

The requested manipulatives and hands-on games will significantly enhance Kindergarten students' learning by fostering engagement, differentiation, concept reinforcement, skill development, and retention. These resources offer a multisensory approach, making learning fun and accessible for all students, while also reinforcing key reading skills such as phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. By actively participating in interactive activities, students develop a strong foundation in literacy that promotes long-term retention and application of knowledge.

The project's goals include enhancing literacy skills, increasing engagement and participation, supporting personalized learning, promoting a literacy-rich environment, and fostering a collaborative learning community.

By equipping educators with resources and materials tailored to the science of reading, the project aims to create dynamic learning environments that cultivate a lifelong love for reading among Kindergarten students. These students are special due to their natural curiosity, creativity, resilience, diversity, and joy of learning, all of which contribute to a vibrant and inclusive classroom community where every student can thrive.
