My Project

September is just around the corner and a new group of boys and girls will be coming through the classroom doors bright-eyed and excited to learn all they need to. Reading and writing is a rite of passage every kindergarten child looks forward to. These OG (Orton-Gillingham) materials will help them learn to become proficient lifelong learners. The Customizable slide bundle will give them practice with learning to sound out words. The blending board and sound cards will be great for daily practice as well. The sandpaper letters and handheld white boards will be great for tracing and writing letters and sight words. Please help us receive the much needed materials so they can learn to read and write.
