My Project

My students are amazing, little learners hungry to learn and understand how to read and write. They work so hard to learn all the letters and sounds so they can start making words and sounding out words.

Little hands need lots of tools to learn and several types of tools to help with this process.

The materials I have chose for this project will support the science of learning.

We will use these word games, and letter-learning activities in small groups, whole class and even during independent learning time. I am sure my students will bloom with these supplies in hand to support their reading and writing skills.
