Goal

The primary goal of Little Learners, Big Beginnings! is to improve foundational literacy skills and increase kindergarten readiness through hands-on, developmentally appropriate learning experiences. Areas of focus will be alphabet knowledge, phonological awareness and letter-sound knowledge.
By the end of the year, the student gains will be measured using student assessments, teacher observation, and documented classroom progress.
*Participating students will demonstrate measurable growth in uppercase and lowercase letter recognition from their initial assessment to their final assessment.
*Participating students will demonstrate growth in age-appropriate phonological awareness skills, such as recognizing rhymes, identifying beginning sounds, and participating in sound-based activities.
*Participating students will demonstrate improvement in identifying the sounds associated with letters taught during the project.

What will be done with my students

This grant will allow students to participate in structured literacy learning centers and small-group activities, with the teacher documenting engagement, skill practice, and increasing independence. 

 

Benefits to my Students

This grant will establish a literacy-rich learning environment in my classroom. Students will engage in hands-on literacy activities during daily instruction, small-group lessons, and learning centers. Activities will include matching uppercase and lowercase letters, exploring letter sounds, identifying rhyming words, sorting pictures by beginning sound, retelling familiar stories, building vocabulary, and practicing name recognition and early writing. 

 

Budget Narrative

The requested $1000 will help create a classroom environment where students can explore letters, discover sounds, enjoy stories, practice early writing, and develop confidence in their abilities. By combining high-quality learning materials with intentional instruction and measurable outcomes, this project will support early literacy development and help prepare students for a successful transition to kindergarten.
This investment will not simply purchase classroom supplies. It will provide children with repeated opportunities to build the foundational skills they need for future academic success.
