My students need enjoyable activities they can work on while at centers. The tools from each center will focus on letter recognition, letter sounds, and phonemic awareness activities that will lead them to be successful readers and writers. The students will use these materials to enhance their reading and writing skills. They will learn to segment and blend complex words. As they become stronger readers they will also be making meaning of what they are reading. A significant growth will be seen in their writing as their reading skills improve. These resources will be used throughout the year to help them accelerate their reading skills and writing skills. Your donation is greatly appreciated. Many scholarly readers and writers will sprout due to the inspiration you plant in their hearts. Wow! Not only will you be opening a world of scholarly readers but a universe of potential writers. Don't you wonder which one will be your favorite author! I do!
