Build-a-Word Literacy Center Project

Help me give my students activities to help them practice their literacy skills and to become fluent little readers! Incorporating sight words, magnetic letters, and word builders activities into their small group makes learning fun and engaging.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Reading is the most fundamental skill a child needs to be successful in school. During literacy centers, students work on skills according to their level to ensure personal growth to help them not fall behind or to help catch up when needed. The activities I have chosen will give my little learners personalized activities that they need in order to practice basic literacy skills. The sight word activities help them recognize and become familiar with those words while constructing CVC words allows them to take content aligned with our lessons and apply them directly in a variety of hands-on activities.
