Our new magnetic phonics kits have quickly become a favorite part of our day. As soon as it's time for \"Word Work\" during our UFLI lessons, my students light up with excitement, rushing to get their kits and dive into building words. These hands-on tools have transformed our literacy block, making phonics feel more like play than work.\r\n\r\nThe kits have been especially helpful in reinforcing letter-sound connections, blending, and segmenting words. Students are not only more engaged, but also more confident in their reading and spelling. I've seen huge growth in their phonemic awareness and decoding skills, and it's all thanks to your support. Your generosity has made learning fun and meaningful—and our classroom is better because of you.
