My Project

Our class is learning how to use letters and sounds to read and write words. With new magnetic tiles and boards, we will be able to build on the phonics skills that we are learning in a fun and engaging way.

This will help make reading and writing fun for students.

Students will be able to match letter sounds to the magnetic letter to make new words. Students then can use the magnetic letters to help them read new words!

My students love center time and love to read. These boards will help motivate my students when practicing blending and segmenting new words that we are learning.
