The use of literacy toys such as magnetic letter tiles and number bots helps guide students to a deeper understanding of letters and numbers through play and kinesthetics. Not only will they explore letters, but they will also practice making words, including their name. When learning is fun and meaningful, it creates a lifelong learner in each child. "Those things you learn without joy you will forget easily." These toys will help us to discuss letter names and sounds in a comfortable, safe environment free from the fear of failing. Please partner with me to build literacy in our classroom!
