My Project

Phonics skills are closely related to speech and language development, as they both involve the understanding and use of sounds.

Practicing phonics skills can help children learn how to pronounce sounds correctly.

As they practice sounding out words, they refine their articulation, which contributes to clearer speech. This is especially important for early learners who are still mastering speech sounds.

The games included in this project will give students a fun way to practice their phonics skills. Student engagement is crucial when working on skills that are challenging for them to learn.

I have amazing students and I want them to be successful. They deserve the opportunity to have fun while learning so that they can better communicate with their peers.
