My Project

These materials will help my students with reading and writing. My students so far have been working on their phonics skills to help them read and write. The materials will allow them to use the letter sounds and sight words they have learned already and reinforce what they learned so they continue to have an understanding of it. These materials will reinforce what they have learned so far. They have also been trying to write independently. The writing materials will allow them to make their own sentences.

The materials will allow my students to feel accomplished in reading and writing.

My students are multi-sensory learners and having the different ways to read and write will meet the needs of all students.
