My Project

Phonics is a crucial part of learning to read, and the Lakeshore All-In-One Magnetic Phonics Kits and Journals will make learning phonics fun, interactive, and accessible for all my students. These kits and journals will allow students to manipulate letters and sounds, reinforcing phonemic awareness and decoding skills in an engaging way.

By using these hands-on kits, students will actively participate in building words, recognizing patterns, and developing their reading fluency.

The magnetic components provide a tactile experience that strengthens their understanding of letter-sound relationships.

With these materials, my students will gain confidence in reading and be better prepared for more complex literacy challenges ahead. This project will create a supportive, stimulating learning environment where all students, regardless of their reading level, can thrive.

These phonics kits will be an invaluable tool in my classroom, providing students with the necessary resources to strengthen their literacy skills in a fun and interactive way. With your support, we can create a lasting impact on their reading journey.
