My Project

I absolutely love how eager my students are to learn and their enthusiasm for improving their phonics skills. They are always ready to explore new sounds, but often struggle with the correct pronunciation. The desk mirrors and soundbars will be invaluable resources for them. The mirrors will allow my students to see their own mouth movements, helping them understand where to properly place their tongue and position their lips, especially when practicing short and long vowel sounds. By having this visual feedback, they will gain more confidence in their pronunciation and become more aware of how their articulatory movements affect the sounds they produce.

The soundbars will help reinforce these lessons by providing clear, audible examples of correct phonics sounds.

The combination of seeing their mouth movements and hearing accurate sound representations will enable them to grasp phonics concepts more quickly and with greater accuracy, setting them up for success as they continue their literacy journey.
