My Project

In kindergarten students are beginning to read and we want them to be able to share that magical excitement they have with their families. The materials in this project will help our young readers to continue their journey of learning to read at home with their loved ones.

This project will also help us provide small group instruction as students continue to build their word building skills.

The magnetic letters will provide my students with a hands-on opportunity to build and visualize new words. This will not only build their vocabulary, but it will also help build their confidence in reading!
