I am able to utilize these materials during small group instruction to meet the individual needs of my students. The magnetic boards and alphabet tiles are highly engaging and can be easily adapted to a variety of activities. We have used them to build our name, sequence the alphabet, match capital and lowercase letters, identify beginning and/or ending sounds as well as building cvc words. My students love the color coded materials that are hands on and provides us with a multisensory approach to learning. Thank you so much for your thoughtful generosity that has allowed my students to engage in learning early literacy skills.
