My Project

A strong foundation in reading and writing is crucial for a child's academic success. I would love to empower my kindergartners with the essential skills they need to become confident and proficient readers and writers.

To achieve this goal during our literacy center time, the students would have interactive games and workbooks designed to promote literacy skills.

This will make the learning process enjoyable and effective. The educational games and books I am requesting focus on letter recognition, phonics, and other early literacy concepts.

Thank you for considering my request, your support will help create a strong start for my students.
