My Project

It is important to incorporate hands-on reading materials into kindergarten instruction. By doing this, I can create a stimulating and interactive learning environment that fosters a love for reading, supports early literacy skills, and makes the learning process enjoyable for young learners.

Implementing small group instruction in reading and phonics requires a variety of resources and materials to support student learning.

Using these materials during small group instruction is an effective way to provide targeted support to students with varying skill levels. These manipulatives can help students engage with the text, build vocabulary, improve comprehension, and develop critical thinking skills. Overall, reading manipulatives can be a valuable tool in small group reading instruction to support students' literacy development and foster a deeper understanding of reading and phonics concepts.
