Fundations
Fundations is a research-based, systematic approach to teaching phonics, spelling, and handwriting. Our school uses this program in Kindergarten through Third Grade.
When we are in the classroom, we are able to do a variety of multisensory activities in our lessons. Students write on whiteboards, write trick words with gel boards and magic pens, build words with magnetic tile boards, use our arms to write giant letters in the air, trace sandpaper letters, and more.
