CCS CareerTech partners with Harter Elementary for Early Literacy BULLDOGS HELPING BULLDOGS!

Harter Elementary School is working every day to grow our Bulldogs’ early reading skills. Blending boards are a classroom literacy tool that can help make that happen. At the end of last year, Mr. Stone and Mr. Conrad reached out to Mr. Nunez and his high school students in the Career Tech Department for help in getting blending boards for our teachers to use in their classrooms. Mr. Nunez did some research and came up with a model that would work for Harter. Students, Khris Williams and Shawn Compton (pictured), as well as Jesse Blackwell, Rosendo Maldonado, Nicholas Hixson, Edy Moran Cal, Iris Perez Us and Charles Phillips, helped build the blending boards that will be used to grow our early reading skills. They made 25 blending boards, one for every teacher at Harter. Mrs. Moore’s 2nd grade class (pictured) is already using the blending board in the classroom to work on consonant-vowel-consonant words. Recently, students played a game against Mrs. Moore to see if they could read more words and earn more points than she earned. It was class vs teachers as they decoded consonant-vowel-consonant words. It’s a win-win when students are reading!! Harter Staff and Students are grateful to Mr. Nunez and his students in the Career Tech Department for taking the time to design and build these high-quality tools to enhance early literacy. With the help of our High School Bulldogs in Career Tech, Harter Elementary Bulldogs are on their way to becoming stellar readers (and having a little early literacy fun with their teacher along the way)!
