My Project

My students are full of love and have a high interest in literacy. Many of my students have never been to school before, being that they are Kindergartners. Due to their joy of reading and writing, the selected materials would support their literacy journey this school year. The students will read independently with their Buddy Reading partner and explore the strategies taught to help their reading flourish. The selected wipe-erase markers will support students in letter formation, and use phonemes to connect to graphemes to create CVC words and write sentences.
