My Project

I am so excited to support my young learners as they begin their literacy journey! My scholars all share a love for learning and a curiosity about the world. The resources I’m requesting will make a huge difference in helping them build strong reading and writing skills from the start.

The Wilson Fundations materials I’m asking for will be key to helping my students succeed.

The Teacher’s Manual will give me step-by-step guidance to ensure I’m teaching them the best way possible. The Alphabet Wall Strip will help students see and interact with the letters every day, which is so important for letter recognition. The Large Sound Cards will give them a hands-on way to connect sounds with letters and the Letter Formation Poster will help my students form letters correctly as they begin writing on their own. These tools will help my little ones grow into confident readers and writers.

My goal is to create a fun and supportive classroom where every student feels proud of their progress in reading and writing. With these resources, I want to help them build important skills like sounding out words, writing clearly, and recognizing letters.

My students are special because they bring so much joy and enthusiasm to learning. They are eager, curious, and excited to grow, and with the right tools, I know they will take off as confident readers and writers!
