In order for my kids to achieve reading success and comprehend what they are reading, they must be able to do it quickly and automatically. Phonics facilitates that process. With lots of practice sounding out words, in combination with other important reading skills such as phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and concepts of print, they learn to read more fluently. My students need literacy manipulatives, phonics activities, and word working materials so that they can learn while having fun! These activities will make an impact on all my students because they will help them start the beginning stages of reading. They will utilize the word formation sand trays, sand, draw & write touch board and tactile letters to use a kinesthetic approach to writing their spelling words and learn new spelling patterns that are on their current level. As students develop their phonics skills they will be able to work with the blend and digraph learning centers to continue to develop their understanding of the English language. These materials will not only promote learning, but also their independence in developing skills at their own pace. Students will be able to self check their sight words with the Dolch sight word tearpads and use clues to check answers, allowing them to feel pride in their work and become responsible for their learning. With his donation, my students will be ensured best practices for reading instruction and will be well on their way to reading success! These pieces are so important because they will build my students' phonics skills and boost their self-esteem. The possibilities of creating a love for reading are endless and with your help it will be possible. Thank you for considering our phonics project!
