My Project

Hands-on learning is an excellent way to engage learners. When multiple modalities are activated, there is a greater chance for learning and retention to occur. Learning to read does not have to be boring. In fact, I love to make the light bulb come on so learning is fun!

These hand 2 mind resources will support us in providing hands-on experiences.

These are proven Science of Reading skills that will help build strong readers. My hope is to find new and innovative ways to have scholars fall in love with reading. We know now how important phonemic development is and that it goes hand and hand with phonics. By providing these materials to my students, this will help their understanding and knowledge of the alphabet, sounds and words. These materials also can be used to differentiate each student’s learning. If the student is learning the alphabet, the materials can be for them but it can also be for the person learning sounds, cvc words and beyond. That’s what is awesome about these materials.

My goal for this project is to assist the students with making leaps and bounds in their reading concepts for the rest of the year. I want them to be at grade level or above when they enter second grade. Some students need extra support and these materials will be valuable in their attainment and growth of reading skills.
