My Project

These phonics games and books will continue to enhance the engaging and print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom literacy stations and classroom library are both things my students really enjoy. I read on the carpet to them, introduce and play phonics games with them, and they read independently as well!

Every student activity and book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to learn phonics and read.

These early learning opportunities are fundamental to the foundation of learning to read, learning to love to read, and becoming independent readers. With your help, everything is possible!
