Students who have a strong alphabetic knowledge when entering Kindergarten have the opportunity to hear sounds in CVC words, blend sounds to read words and learn sight words. The alphabet activities I need in my room will increase motivation through engaged activities such as alphabet games, alphabet crafts and hands on learning activities. The rhyming games, phonemic awareness activities and phonics instruction material will advance my students by building brain pathways, knowledge they need to read. With our students having no previous in school practice with literacy since Covid-19 and the permanent shut down of our towns Head start Program. I must be specific in planning activities that teach literacy skills using engaging material. My goal is for every student in my classroom to have a strong foundation of literacy skills to prepare them for the next step to reading in Kindergarten, regardless of the challenges we face with Covid-19 absence and closures. Our students will fall further behind in reading if they do not have the exact activities needed to target specific early literacy skills to prepare them for success.
These supplies will offer my young students multiple opportunities with engaging activities, students will be excited to play while they begin to construct understanding of early reading skills. The writing strips, will teach them about concept of word with poems, names and words written on them. The beginning sound games will teach the students how to start a word, to hear the first sound, middle and ending sound. My students do not have these items at home, families have been impacted negatively through the Covid-19 and it has hit home for my students. My students have lost older members of their family that read them stories, and played with them all while increasing love their love of learning.
