Stem Phonics Makes Learning More Memorable and Dynamic!

Help me give my students hands-on phonics activities to help them become their best reader ever!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dorie L. Clayman's classroom raised $205

My Project

Instead of just memorizing everything with phonics, we can work on learning through exploration and problem-solving. Through blocks and magnets and puzzles, the students will learn to read in a more dynamic and interesting way.

Through sound sorting, designing structures and building with snap cubes we can challenge our scholars in more unique ways for a deeper understanding of phonics concepts and connections.

Hands-on phonics activities, STEM makes learning more exciting and focused. It encourages children to be creative using various materials and stop jus using rote memorization. I believe this kind of learning is not just more profound for our children but ultimately enhances rate of retention.
