Funded Aug 15, 2024I want to express my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation, which has made this project possible for my students. They were absolutely thrilled to use the new materials this year! In fact, many of them have shared that they enjoy using the trays even more than our traditional whiteboard activities. These resources have played a key role in helping my students develop essential literacy skills.
The hands-on, multisensory tools are specifically designed to help students understand letters and their corresponding sounds, and they have proven incredibly effective. The phonics trays are enhancing my students' sound awareness and strengthening both their reading and writing abilities through a variety of engaging activities.
The magnetic letters, in particular, have been a great asset for building letter recognition. We've also started using the trays to extend students' knowledge by building words and manipulating sounds, which is reinforcing the foundational skills necessary for reading and writing.
Incorporating these hands-on activities has allowed me to address the diverse learning styles within my classroom, while making phonics instruction both enjoyable and meaningful. I'm confident that, with continued use, my students will continue to make excellent progress in their phonemic awareness and overall literacy development—thanks to your support.
Once again, thank you for helping make this important learning experience possible!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Plunkett
