My Project

I absolutely love teaching Kindergarten. One of the best parts of our year together is learning how to read! I am asking for donations of phonemic awareness games and math activities to help build a strong foundation for reading and to make learning to read fun and easy.

Phonemic awareness is the ability to understand that spoken words are made up of individual sounds called phonemes, and it’s one of the best early predictors of reading success.

While playing these requested games, my students will practice hearing sounds and putting letters to the sounds. This will build a strong foundation for reading and writing words. Please consider contributing to my students' success in reading and math!
