My Project

Please help my pre k learners by supporting their diverse learning styles. These tactile letters and numbers help children connect letter formations to letter names. This will help them begin to sound out and spell CVC words. The letter blocks and picture cues will help my non English speaking learners make the connection to letters and words. They will learn to spell words families and simple CVC words in a fun and engaging way. This will foster a love of learning and develop reading skills necessary to succeed in kindergarten.
