My Project

My students love to learn and are starting to blend the letter sounds that they know to read words. The more engaging the activity the more likely they are to be successful with the concept being taught.

I am requesting Mini Magic Boards to give my students the opportunity to practice writing the letters they know and to combine that with learning the sounds those letters make.

Eventually these boards will be used to write simple words. The boards are a tool for the students to practice their knowledge of the concepts they have learned.

After they write a letter or a word they can easily erase their screen and write again. This reusable writing tool will give them many opportunities to review and write what they know. This will prove to be useful for their early reading and writing experiences.
