Goal

My goal is to overcome the dual challenge of acquiring a new language and reading skills. Many of my students in the 2025-2026 cohort are performing below proficiency benchmarks on key assessments, and demonstrate limited foundational skills necessary for grade level success.
This project will help secure essential multi sensory resources to integrate into my daily instruction. Visual and tactile learning materials enable our English Language Learners to see, touch, and master the abstract sounds and structure of English.

What will be done with my students

My students will receive explicit, systematic, and engaging instruction in phonemic awareness and phonics using the multi sensory materials provided by this grant.
Students will use magnetic letters to physically map the sounds they hear in words. Sound tubs help students connect the sound to a tangible item. Whiteboards offer a low stakes environment to be able to quickly erase and rewrite as they sound out a word, encouraging rapid correction during dictation practice. Composition Journals provide a space for students to apply phonics skills to meaningful writing. Word Building boards help students build words they hear, encouraging them to segment the spoken word into individual sounds and select the correct corresponding letter. Sound phones help students focus on the sounds they are producing. Implementation and Instruction will be ongoing during Fall 2025 – Spring 2026.
 

 

Benefits to my students

The use of multisensory materials directly addresses the abstract nature of the English language structure, which is a major hurdle for English Language Learners. My goal is to reduce the percentage of students performing below proficiency on the district's final reading benchmark by 10 percentage points. 80 % of my students will demonstrate an average gain of 15 percentage points in phonemic awareness scores from the Fall 2025 baseline. 

 

Budget Narrative
