Special Ed Kindergarten Phonics Tools

Help me give my students a classroom kit of reference tools to help teach them phonics.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Badger's classroom raised $175

This project is fully funded

My Project

The item I am trying to purchase is a classroom kit for phonics instruction. It includes a wall display of the letters and their sounds. This kit will help me to teach phonics in a new approach. The Secret Stories system helps teachers to engage all of the students senses in learning letters and letter sounds. This helps students store the information in multiple parts of their brains. They learn it faster and they learn it better.

This is so perfect for my students.

I will be teaching a self contained class of kindergarten students with special needs. Their special needs range in type and severity. All students in kindergarten require phonics instruction. Adding any type of special needs to the mix makes learning these kinds of things even more challenging. This is why this product would be so useful for me and my students.
