My Project

COVID-19 had a such a tremendous and lasting effect on our students. Elementary school is the level where student get all their foundations for reading, math, social skills, science, and more.

COVID-19 impacted their learning, and we must do everything we can to fill the learning gaps that were created with the pandemic.

These Phonics Factory hands-on manipulatives allow for young learners to hold and play with pieces that help them learn foundational reading skills. The learning cards and games create a sense of fun and cooperation in learning. This is something that was lost in Pandemic learning, and now needs to be guided and supported for our children.

These materials are for explicit teaching of foundational reading skills for student ages kindergarten through 5th grade. They will engage with teachers in small groups, ensuring mastery of skills. Every child needs our help to get them back to where they need to be.
