My Project

We all know that reading is crucial for our students. If you donate to our project, this will be helping drive my small instruction group. This resource will help my students have a hands on experience to build words. This science of reading resource goes perfectly well with our UFLI program.

With these phonics magnetic tiles my students will get hands-on practice with word mapping, decoding and encoding.

These are important skills a reader needs to have to be successful. My little ones would be so motivated to use these because they love everything hands on. Their multi-sensory learning will be at its best!
