My Project

I am requesting a variety of engaging grammar and phonics board games to support literacy development in my classroom. These games will provide hands-on, interactive learning experiences that will help my students strengthen their foundational reading skills in a fun and meaningful way.

With these resources, my students will improve their understanding of phonics, word patterns, and sentence structure, develop stronger reading fluency and comprehension skills, build confidence in speaking and writing through collaborative play, and engage in meaningful peer interactions that support language development, especially for my English language learners.

Many of my students struggle with basic literacy skills, and traditional instruction alone isn’t always enough to meet their diverse learning needs. These board games will turn learning into an enjoyable and social experience, making it easier for them to retain phonics rules, grammar concepts, and new vocabulary. The hands-on nature of these games will also cater to different learning styles, ensuring that every student gets the support they need to thrive.

By donating to this project, you will help bring high-quality literacy games into our classroom, giving my students the tools they need to become strong, confident readers. Your support will directly impact children who may not have access to these types of educational materials at home.

Thank you for believing in my students and for helping to create a classroom filled with joyful learning experiences!
