They will be used for reading center time. The children will be able to manipulate words. They will be able to listen to words and build the word as they hear each sound, with the tiles. This will be another way to get the children to work with stretching and building words. It will also be useful for my multilingual students. A lot of times they do not hear every sound, due to dual language. This will get them to point to each sound and physically move the letter into place in a word. It will allow all of the students to be more independent in word building, which leads to more independence in writing.","fullyFundedDate":1769980757381,"projectUrl":"project/centers-for-the-science-of-reading/10068962/","projectTitle":"Centers for the Science of Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Karen Abrams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1573499_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y80&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1650896711719","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1573499"},{"teacherId":3899588,"projectId":10077280,"letterContent":"We want to thank you for donating the supplies we need for our classroom.
