My students are so special to me. They are from a small village in Alaska. It is a predominately low income community, however these students deserve to have hands on activities to help them build their phonics skills. Phonics is the foundation to building literacy skills. The materials in this project take my students from the basic literacy skills of learning letters to being able to build 2+ letter words. It also provides opportunities to go from reading words to reading sentences. The hands on supplies in this project will allow my students to build independent reading skills . By providing these activities it gives small busy hands an educational tool to help build vocabulary and decoding skills.
Learning to read can be quite a chore for 5-7 year olds.
The materials requested in this project will help my students strengthen their phonics and reading skills by providing materials to enhance their learning with hands on activities. Kindergarten students are curious and like to learn with materials they can manipulate. These materials also provide opportunities to build their fine motor skills. They would be so excited to be able to have these fun and educational materials.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
