Using Elkonin boxes, magnetic answer boards, reading rods, and word-building blocks, students will actively manipulate sounds and letters as they practice blending, segmenting, and spelling words.\r\nSmall-group instruction allows me to meet students exactly where they are. These multisensory tools make abstract phonics skills concrete, helping students clearly connect sounds to letters while receiving immediate feedback and guided practice. This approach is especially effective for students who need extra support in phonemic awareness, decoding, and sight word development.\r\nBy strengthening foundational reading skills in a focused, small-group setting, students will build confidence, increase accuracy, and make meaningful progress toward becoming independent readers. These materials will be used consistently throughout the year to support intervention, differentiation, and growth in early literacy.","fullyFundedDate":1760637792047,"projectUrl":"project/building-words-building-readers/9823301/","projectTitle":"Building Words, Building Readers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Underwood-Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8468503_orig.jpg?crop=1242,1242,x0,y534&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1652107137747","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8468503"},{"teacherId":5005514,"projectId":9082266,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my scholars are loving the new additions to our classroom! \r\n\r\nThey enjoy choosing comfy flexible-seating spots where they focus best.
