My Project

As a kindergarten teacher, I am committed to helping my young students develop essential literacy skills. To do this, I need your help to provide two crucial tools: whiteboards with primary lines and decodable readers.

These whiteboards will allow students to practice handwriting by writing both uppercase and lowercase letters.

The primary lines will help them form letters correctly and develop fine motor skills. These individual boards encourage active participation and immediate feedback, making learning engaging and fun.

Decodable readers are essential for early readers. These books are designed to support phonics skills, helping students read words based on letter-sound relationships. By focusing on simple, decodable text, these books will build their confidence and fluency as they practice reading independently.

With these tools, my students will have the resources they need to grow as confident readers and writers. Your generous support will provide them with the foundation they need for a successful educational journey.

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of my young learners!
