Celebrating 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
Help my young learners build strong literacy foundations with Alphabet Soup word work kits, engaging books, and hands-on resources that make learning letters and sounds exciting and fun!
Learning to read starts with learning the alphabet.
I’m requesting the Alphabet Soup Sorters set, a fun and interactive resource where students pull out letter tiles from “soup cans” to match pictures, sort by initial sounds, and build early phonics skills. This hands-on tool brings excitement and engagement to letter recognition and sound practice.
Not all of my students come with the same level of exposure to books, letters, or language. These materials will help close that gap. With your help, I can provide equitable access to high-quality, fun, and educational resources that will strengthen their foundational literacy skills and set them up for success.
Building strong reading skills starts with a solid alphabet foundation. When students engage in playful, hands-on literacy experiences, they’re more likely to retain what they learn and enjoy the process. These materials will help my kindergartners develop confidence as readers and writers while having fun. Your support will make a lasting difference in their educational journey.
More than half of students from low‑income households
