My Project

The dry erase books and magnetic letter puzzles will make a significant difference in my kindergarten students’ literacy learning. Dry erase books provide a reusable platform for practicing writing, creating word banks, and building vocabulary, encouraging independence and creativity. Students can write, erase, and revise their work, reinforcing foundational literacy skills. Magnetic letter puzzles offer hands-on exploration of phonics, helping students recognize letters, form words, and strengthen spelling abilities in a fun, interactive way. Together, these tools engage young learners through multi-sensory activities, promoting active participation, skill development, and confidence as they progress on their literacy journey.
