My Project

My students have been working on their phonics everyday in class. Some students enjoy when we do our phonics routines, but other students have been getting tired of the same routines. Finding ways to make phonics more engaging in the classroom for all my students is important and beneficial. They need their phonics skills to become better spellers which would help them become better readers.

I’m asking for the magnetic easel that they’ll be able to come up to and use the phonic alphabet magnets to spell words.

They could could use the magnets to build the words instead of writing it down in their journals.
