Reading and Phonics Fun

Help me give my students learning tools to assist in phonics instruction and reading development. We need a calm down corner, various hands-on manipulatives, and lots of phonics and reading materials.

My Project

I would like to use tools to help my students in small group work to help them learn the English language as well as become proficient readers. Some tools will be used to help aid students during their time in the cozy corner when they are feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. This helps to create a positive and supportive learning environment.

These materials are essential to my classroom and will be used daily with my students in both small groups and the whole class.

I am excited to see my students become proficient readers!

It provides a fun and effective learning opportunity for all students in my class. Children will learn individual letter sounds, blending sounds to read words and identifying word patterns.

My goal is to use these materials daily to build phonemic awareness and emergent reading skills. Thank you in advance for supporting this project
