My Project

My students love to learn! These magnetic letter trays, magnetic letters, and phonics floor mat will allow my students to learn their letters and sounds in a fun and hands-on way. Using these magnetic letters will help my students map sounds (phonemes) to letters (graphemes), reinforcing the critical foundational skills they need to become successful readers and writers. Research shows that one of the most effective ways to improve early literacy skills is through active, engaging practice.

The magnetic letter trays, will give my students the opportunity to manipulate letters and sounds.

By arranging the magnetic letters to form words, they'll practice not only letter recognition, but also sound-to-letter correspondence, helping them connect spoken language to written symbols.

These hands-on activities will allow my students to work with the letters in a interactive way, strengthening their phonemic awareness and spelling skills. By using the dry-erase markers alongside the magnetic trays, my students will also be able to practice writing their letters, forming words, and even creating simple sentences. The ability to practice in multiple ways will increase their accuracy, boost their confidence, and help them develop fluency with reading and writing.

These materials will give my students the hands-on learning opportunities they need to thrive in their early literacy development. By practicing daily, they will gain the confidence to identify and form letters, recognize letter-sound relationships, and start building their reading and writing fluency. The ability to make learning interactive and enjoyable will also help them stay engaged, making it easier for them to take ownership of their learning and feel successful in their literacy journey.
