My Students

Words, words, words. Learning how to read is challenging for many students. It is even more difficult for children who are learning English as a second (or third) language.

My students come from a variety of different backgrounds.

Many of them are born in the United States. Some enter kindergarten with a limited knowledge of the English language. Others are new to the country. Most come from hard working families that struggle financially. They are all eager to learn.

My Project

My students will use these games and activities to improve their English language skills. They will use the Word Building Lapboards to practice spelling words in a hands on way. They will enjoy practicing phonics and vocabulary skills with the phonics puzzles and reading Can Do games.

Having these hands on materials with help my ESOL students learn new vocabulary, sight words, and phonics skills.

This knowledge will help improve their English language skills in a variety of areas, including reading, listening, writing, and speaking.
