I am a Kindergarten teacher in West Virginia. I can have up to twenty-three students in my classroom. Watching my kiddos grow academically and socially throughout the year is my greatest contribution to the future.
The science of reading is defined as a vast, interdisciplinary body of scientifically-based research about reading and issues related to reading and writing.
Help me give my students manipulatives to form a concrete understanding of how letter sounds build words.
Our school system has been talking about the need to reform our practice to align with the science of reading. I am asking for the materials listed in my project to provide hands-on literacy instruction.
Not only do literacy manipulatives make learning more fun, but they provide students more ways to engage with letters and texts, develop stronger comprehension skills, and build fluency skills. All of this ultimately leads to better readers.
