The material will make a difference with my students because it provides them with the foundation of recognizing letters and sounds. Sounds mastery is a key component of phonics. To begin writing and reading students must become aware of the individual phonemes in words and then understand the relationship of those sounds to letters. The practice of consistent formations embeds the letter production into memory which allows students to develop higher level written composition. The goal for my students is to have fluent readers. Fluent reading is an essential reading skill for comprehension.
