Knowledge is a Seed that Grows

Help me give my students the supplies they need to learn how to build, write and read words. These letter tiles will give guaranteed results as students can hear, see, make and write new words.

My Project

In our school, we prioritize being an inclusive community. In an effort to give each student the ability to practice their reading and writing we need letter tiles. Having letter tile sets for each student will give the students access to practice letters and their sounds. In addition, the students will practice and begin to understand how letters make sounds, and when you put them together you can create new words and read them. The students need these tangible letters to practice both in school and at home. Did you know that these students do not have the opportunity to practice what they are learning in school because they do not have the supplies needed both in school and at home?
