My Project

The use of these Science of Reading toolkits will help my students learn to read. These tools will give them the foundational skills needed to become emergent readers.

I will use these kits when working with students in small groups.

It provides a fun and effective learning opportunity for all students in my class. Children will learn individual letter sounds, blending sounds to read words and identifying word patterns.

My goal is to use these materials daily to build phonemic awareness and emergent reading skills. Thank you in advance for supporting this project.
