The use of board games and computer software will make the act of learning English and developing literacy skills--which can often be overwhelming for English Language Learners-- fun and interactive, instead. My students will use these materials during our daily guided literacy centers. Games like "Sight Word Bingo" provide students an opportunity to practice the language skills they are learning in class while also engaging with their peers. Activities like "Storyteller Writing Box" gives students an opportunity to use language creatively as they share original stories. The journals will allow students to continue practicing their writing skills while at home, and even serve as a way for students to share the language they are learning with their parents and siblings. The materials I have listed address early literacy skills, such as phonic awareness, sight words, and tier 1 vocabulary. Since I work in a third grade context, materials that address early literacy skills are not easily accessible for teachers and students. As an educator, I strongly believe that learning should be fun and engaging for students. These materials will allow my students to develop the early literacy skills they need while easing the frustration that can sometimes come with learning a new language. Beginning to speak, read, write, and understand the English language is vital for my students' academic success and personal growth. Learning English and developing literacy skills will help students begin to culturally adjust and alleviate the social and emotional challenges of moving to a new country. My students can also use their new acquired English skills at home with their families, to translate and/or help their families culturally adjust as well. This project will ensure my students' success as learners in the classroom and as citizens of New York City's melting pot.
