They love the splash games that challanege them to read words. They think it is so fun to pull a card and not know if it will be a word to read or a \"splash\" and put all the cards back. The reading sentence strips have helped them to sound out longer words and then blend them together to make a word. Their comprehension is then challenged by having to find the matching picture. The students think it is fun to read and match the cards. During our UFLI lessons, students love to use the letter boards to form and change words in the lesson.

It has been a great help in my classroom and my students have been loving using all the recourses we have received. \r\nBoth my students and I were very excited to get these supplies to use in our classroom. \r\n With all the many different supplies and things we received, my kids really enjoyed the long division white boards. This allowed my students to make sure their math was lined up and made it easier for them to divide. What seems like such a small thing made a big difference in helping the students understand math. \r\n Overall we have been really enjoying the things we have received.

The structured lines helped them stay organized and confident while working, and many students proudly shared their finished work with classmates.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, they were extremely excited—especially the math games and graphing tools. They loved being able to graph and draw with the guided lines, and several students asked to use the resources again during free work time. The math games quickly became a favorite and were a fun, engaging way to review important math skills while reinforcing concepts we've already learned.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, our next steps include continuing to use the math games to review and strengthen math content, as well as applying the graphing resources to more complex lessons.

Students naturally chose the lap desks and portable seating to get comfortable while practicing their decodable readers. They take great pride in using the highlighters to mark the word patterns we are studying, and choosing their own color has become a small but motivating part of our routine. These small moments have created more ownership and excitement during phonics practice.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to use the new materials to strengthen students' confidence with more complex word patterns and multisyllabic word routines. With these tools, students are able to move more smoothly through each part of the lesson—from articulating sounds with their mirrors to building words with tiles to reading their decodables with independence.
