My Project

Using different kinds of manipulatives when learning to read makes reading so much more fun!

Students enjoy being able to take what they have learned in our reading groups and apply it to a decodables, words in isolation and even nonsense words.

Games give students a different way to be exposed to different print and print concepts. When I am able to give them the opportunity to use their skills in a fun way they are all in and the competition begins! I can't wait for the students to have fun with words!
