Find It Fund It Florida - Hillsborough Education Foundation

The goal of my project is to help my incoming kindergarten scholars to learn phonics and foundational literacy skills while having fun. I plan to accomplish this by continuing to use the UFLI Foundations lessons that our district implemented last year. The use of multisensory phonics kits will help my scholars learn while having fun and keeping all their materials organized. These kits will be an indispensable tool in my effort to make sure my kindergarteners leave me with strong decoding and encoding skills and help them to become great readers.

Phonemic Awareness and Phonics instruction are very important parts of the foundational skills taught and learned in kindergarten. Scholars are taught to identify letters and their corresponding sounds. Scholars are then able to manipulate the letters to build and read words. The ability to decode and encode words will help to build strong independent readers. The phonics kits will help my scholars to easily work with the letters and build words during whole group and small group instruction. The kits will also help my scholars to keep their manipulatives organized and they will have everything they need at hand. All scholars will have what they need for our phonics lessons and lessons will move smoothly.

How Project Benefits Students

The multisensory phonic kits will engage my scholars with a variety of tactile, visual, and auditory methods, making it easier for them to understand phonics concepts and develop strong foundational literacy skills. Each kit will be tailored to meet the specific needs of students. I will be able to create a more personalized learning experience, ensuring that struggling learners receive the targeted support they require. As scholars make progress in their phonics and literacy skills, they will gain confidence in their ability to decode, encode and read. This will boost their self-esteem and will have a positive impact on their learning. Reaching scholars at such a young age and addressing their phonics deficiencies in kindergarten, I will be able to set my scholars up for academic success. Strong foundational skill will help build strong readers and thinkers. 

 

Expected Outcome(s)

I expect to see impressive gains in my scholar's phonics skills as assessed with a pre- and post UFLI assessment and weekly assessments on the skills being taught each week and beginning, middle and end of year DIBELS assessment. With improved phonics skills, my scholars will become great at decoding, encoding and better readers. I look forward to high student engagement and keeping my scholars organized with the multisensory kit. Each scholar will get to manipulate the components daily as we move through each step of the UFLI phonic lessons.
