FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wilkerson's classroom raised $180

My Project

Our amazing kindergarteners come to school every day eager to learn and connect. We have been working hard on learning to read. This project is for a classroom kit from Secret Stories. Secret Stories® brain based approach to phonics brings the study of words to life in an engaging and playful way that deepens learning and makes it stick. With this kit, students will unlock more of the code to reading using the social emotional part of the brain. Each sound has it's own story that students will remember and apply when reading. This enables them to read mores with more challenging sounds earlier in their reading journey. With your help, this phonics kit will give our students a fun, engaging way to remember challenging sounds, making them stronger readers as they head into first grade.
