With these materials, my students will be able to engage even more in literacy learning. Using the headphones, students will be able to listen to reading and be exposed to many different genres of text they may not be able to read on their own quite yet. With the magnetic letters and cookie sheets, my students will have another way to show what they know and be able to manipulate sounds and letters to build words.
Teaching literacy and building fluent readers is a large focus in first grade. Having extra materials for students to use gives them more motivation to be fully engaged in literacy. If I can have the help in supporting these students, I know that many of them will exceed their reading and fluency goals!
