My Project

A brand new school year means a brand new set of Kindergarten students ready to have fun learning the beginning stages of their reading and writing skills. My students love discovering the power of these letters to help them read and write. The big "aha" moments of excited 5-6 year olds just starting to learn the concept of print...this is Kindergarten!

The magnetic alphabet tiles will help develop skills in identifying upper- and lowercase letters, using letters to form words, understanding letter-sound correspondence and sequencing the alphabet.

Help me continue to build these magical moments with these magnetic alphabet tiles!
