My Project

In Kindergarten, we use manipulatives daily in our reading instruction. Manipulatives help students form a deeper understanding and connect with what they are learning. The reading manipulatives we are currently using are outdated, damaged, and limited. We often simply do not have enough for each student to have their own complete set, and sharing is not always an option.

As we move forward in the year, we will be tackling challenging concepts such as spelling and blending words.

As students grapple with these new concepts, it will be crucial that they have manipulatives to help them grow in their reading fluency. Having the popits will give my struggling readers a fun and engaging way to practice their letter sound correspondence, the twisting word puzzles will help all students with their spelling, blending, and rhyming skills, and the plastic storage envelopes will help store materials and keep them organized for individual student use.
