What will be done with my students

Hands -on learning is essential at this age, especially for kindergarten who learn best when they can touch, move, and interact with games and manipulatives. for my students, these manipulatives will be a first -time experience with literacy resources that are tailored to their needs. Games and tactile tools like letter tiles, puzzles, and word- building games allow them to practice in ways that feel like play, making learning meaningful and enjoyable.
This project will help every student build the necessary foundations in literacy regardless for their background. 

 

Benefits to my students

1.Better recognition of letters and sounds:
Through daily practice with these materials, I expect my students to recognize letters and sounds with more accuracy.
2. Increased engagement: my literacy block will be filled with enthusiasm, with students actively participating and staying focused because they're genuinely excited about games and activities.
3.Improved fine motor skills: Manipulatives will also help students build essential fine motor skills, which will support them in writing and other hands-in tasks.
