Storytelling Never Felt So Good!

My students need materials that will engage them with their language-building and prereading skills. These kits include such opportunities and will enhance all of these skills with their peers and teachers.

My Students

All of my students are between the ages of 3 to 5, and the majority of them speak another language other than English at home, and all are in a Head Start program or Pre-K Counts.

Preschool is supposed to be the time of your life.

This is a time to play all day, sleep all night, and.nap in between. Learning involves toys, toys, and more toys, with books and friends mixed in there.

With funds being tight; teaching has been very difficult when there lacks teaching materials in the classroom. Our students, our future leaders, should not have to suffer the loss of lack of “toys” or learning material. What fun is that?

My Project

My kids love to read and to be read to. One of the skills that we work on is recalling events in a story and sequencing the events.

My kids would have a blast if they could get their hands on the felt pieces on a felt board, encouraging them to manipulate a story from their memory.

They will benefit from the sequencing cards by verbalizing “first, then, next, last.” My students learn best when they are engaged with the learning tools and have opportunities to learn from one another. These learning kits will give them this chance to work on literacy and language skills.
